Guy Edwards Bartkus, 25, has been identified this Sunday by the FBI as the author of the attack on a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California. Bartkus is also the only death caused by the explosive attack to the reproductive center. Four other people were injured, but their lives are out of danger and have already been discharged, according to local authorities. Before flying in several pieces, Bartuks left a half -hour recording on a Internet page in which he explains his reasons to carry out what the FBI has described as an act of terrorism.
Bartkus’s remains were detected near a 2010 Ford Fusion. Researchers believe that the detonation, which was felt almost four kilometers away from the point, came from the vehicle. “We believe that he was the subject we found near the car,” said the morning of this Sunday Akil Davis, the FBI agent in a press conference. The agency has said that this is the largest scene of a bomb attack throughout the southern California.
The authorities have described Bartkus, originally from Twentynine Palms, a desert people in half an hour of Palm Springs, as a boy of “nihilist” ideas who acted alone. A strong security device took place on Saturday night in the town where Bartkus lived. Federal agents arrived with tactical equipment, an armored vehicle and a robot specially designed to investigate explosive materials. The FBI believes that the pump was manufactured in that residential area, where the neighbors were evacuated from their homes for several hours.
Federal agents are investigating a handful of publications up to social networks and Youtube in which the use of explosives was mentioned. An unnamed web page is also part of the investigation where material was up with the attack, as war was declared to the provida and an objective of unidentified fertility clinic was aimed.
The subject claimed the attack on the American reproductive centers headquarters in Palm Springs in his sound message, and where “anti life” was defined. “Basically, I am upset to exist and have been brought to this world without me to give my consent,” he said. He also claimed to feel angry at fertilization treatments and the people who came to them. “These people decide to have children after thinking about it. How stupid can be?” He said.
The author of the attack planned to transmit the explosion live on social networks. The researchers found close a tripod for the mobile, but the images failed to climb to the author of the attack author. The expansive wave of the detonation damaged buildings and broke crystals from the cars to several blocks around.
Bartkus says in his manifesto that he had several friends of similar ideology. One of her friends in this “anti -life” group was Sophie Tinney, a 27 -year -old woman from the state of Washington, who recently convinced her 29 boyfriend to kill her with a shot while sleeping.
