On Saturday, an explosion shook a Palm Springs fertility clinic, sparking a terror investigation led by the FBI. Authorities identified Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old from Twentynine Palms, as a key suspect.
Investigators suggest the attack stemmed from Bartkus' anti-pro-life beliefs. While the clinic sustained significant damage, thankfully, no embryos were harmed.
The explosion, the largest seen in Southern California, resulted in Bartkus' death and injuries to four others. Emergency response and security efforts in the area have intensified as investigations continue.
