SIGN UP The FBI, Palm Springs Police Department and other agencies are continuing their investigation into Saturday's deadly bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs.
Investigators planned to continue to search for physical evidence and learn more about the bombing suspect who died in the blast.
He was identified Sunday as 25-year-old Twentynine Palms resident Guy Edward Bartkus, and authorities said they were examining an “anti pro-life manifesto” believed to be authored by Bartkus.

Bartkus was killed in the explosion, which occurred around 11 a.m. Saturday at the American Reproductive Centers fertility clinic at 1199 N. Indian Canyon Drive. The clinic was closed at the time of the explosion, but four others were injured at the scene. Those victims were released from medical care as of Sunday.
In a Sunday morning news briefing, Akil Davis, assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office, said authorities served a search warrant Saturday in Twentynine Palms, where some neighbors were briefly evacuated.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Office said that while there are no known threats against clinics in the county, “out of an abundance of caution,” deputies will conduct extra patrols.
“Our thoughts are with those affected by the incident,” sheriff's officials added. “We want to reassure the public that their safety and well-being will always be a priority for the Sheriff's Office and local law enforcement.”
The department also urged residents to report any suspicious activity by calling 911 or their local law enforcement agency.
