The person suspected of detonating a car bomb outside a California fertility clinic on Saturday and dying in the process has been identified by local media reports as Guy Edward Bartkus, 25.

According to sources familiar with the matter, Bartkus is a resident of twenty-five palm trees, the site of a large marine base about an hour from Palm Springs, where an explosion occurred.

Sources added that Batkus said in his book or recording that he opposed the willingness to bring people into the world.

Laura Eimiller, a public affairs expert with the FBI, spoke to KTLA on Sunday morning, and he confirmed that interested people died from an explosion outside the U.S. Reproductive Center on Saturday. The explosion also injured four other people.

In a Facebook post Sunday morning, the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said law enforcement "has happened in twenty-decade palms," a "FBI investigation related to the Palm Springs explosion." However, officials did not immediately confirm the identity of the suspects reported on the media.

“At present, there are no known threats to the San Bernardino County area,” the sheriff’s office said. But the agency added: “For cautious caution, sheriff’s deputies will conduct additional patrols at the fertility centers in our jurisdiction.”

The FBI statement described the attack as “intentional act of terrorism” and added that the clinic was intentional. But it refused to elaborate on how the authorities came to the conclusion of the motivation.

Palm Springs Mayor Ron Deharte said the bomb was detonated before 11 a.m. when it was in or near a car outside the clinic when it exploded.

The bomber attempted to record a video or play the explosion, according to anonymous officials speaking at the Associated Press.

Aerial images of the damage to the facility showed that the parking lot behind the clinic burned the vehicle's remains.

Despite the damage to the building, ARC said its facilities will be fully operational on Monday.

The Desert Sun reported that the explosion could feel 2 miles (3 kilometers).

Dr. Maher Abdallah, who runs the ARC facility where the explosion occurred, told the Associated Press in a telephone interview that all his employees are safe and responsible.

The explosion damaged the office space of the practice and consulted with patients in that space. But the explosion did not damage the in vitro fertilization (IVF) laboratory and all stored embryos.

"We are heartbroken about this and learn that the incident took life and caused harm, we express our deepest condolences to affected individuals and families," the arc said in a statement on Facebook.

The arc also said it said “incredible support from our patients and local communities, as well as the swift action of Palm Springs police, fire and emergency rescue workers”.

California Governor Gavin Newsom wrote on X that he and his wife Jen “put everyone in our hearts.”

"As the investigation unfolds, the state is working closely with local and federal authorities," Newsom added. "Please avoid the area."

Meanwhile, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said: "The violence against fertility clinics is unforgivable."
