Guy Edward Bartkus, of Twentynine Palms, is believed to have detonated an explosive device in his car outside the American Reproductive Centers, which performs IVF treatments, egg collections and other procedures, law enforcement sources told The Post.

Bartkus allegedly described his fanatical pro-death beliefs in written and recorded manifestos as being against bringing people into the world without their consent to spare them from future suffering, KCAL news reported.
Firefighters were called to the reproductive health facility around 11 a.m. local time, with witnesses describing a horrific blast and sharing unconfirmed reports of carnage. The one death at the scene appears to have been Bartkus. The FBI called the incident an “intentional act of terrorism.”

Bartkus’ home was searched by the FBI on Saturday, according to ABC7. Agents swarmed his home and evacuated neighbors due to fears that he may have more explosives inside.
From ABC7:
An Eyewitness News crew at the scene spotted a lot of law enforcement activity in the area. They even heard a loud bang, with officials at the scene shouting “fire in the hole.”
Crews in tactical gear were set up in the area. They were seen working on a robot, which is common at bomb squad scenes. An armored vehicle was also seen entering the evacuation zone.
