The car bombing outside a California fertility clinic, which killed one person and injured four others, appears to be driven by anti-natalist ideology, according to two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the incident.

The bombing injured four other people in addition to killing the suspect, though officials said all embryos at the facility were saved.

Authorities have identified the suspect in a deadly car blast that targeted a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California, as Guy Edward Bartkus, a 25-year-old man they say "had nihilistic ideations".
