25-year-old suspect in fertility clinic bombing left behind ‘anti-pro-life’ writings, officials say
- Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old man, detonated a large explosive at a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, on Saturday and died in the blast.
- Authorities describe the attack as targeted against the IVF facility, though the exact motive remains unknown while investigators probe his online activity and past.
- Bartkus left behind writings and a rambling audio recording expressing anti-life views, criticizing IVF and discussing grievances, with some incoherence noted in the message.
- FBI assistant director Akil Davis reported that Bartkus described himself as "anti-life" and tried to broadcast the explosion live, although it is not confirmed if the live transmission was successful.
- Police and FBI continue investigating Bartkus' background and connections, urging the public to report relevant information while questioning if he acted alone or had help.
