Palm Springs bombing suspect cited Fox Island, WA killing in manifesto, FBI says
Deadly explosion near Fertility Clinic in Palm Springs, CA
One person is dead after a reported explosion near a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California on Saturday.
Federal investigators have identified the man accused of bombing a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California.
What we know:
The FBI named Guy Bartkus as the suspect in Saturday's explosion, which they say was caused by a car bomb. Bartkus died in the blast.
The agency called the bombing an "intentional act of terrorism."
According to investigators, Bartkus left behind a manifesto expressing anti-natalist views — a belief that people should not procreate.
Multiple media outlets report the manifesto referenced the recent death of a friend, a woman allegedly shot in her sleep by her boyfriend.
The backstory:
That case appears to match the April death of a woman on Fox Island, Washington.
