PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KTLA) — The person of interest in the "act of terrorism" that severely damaged a reproductive health facility in Palm Springs, California, is confirmed to be dead, according to authorities.

An FBI spokesperson had initially confirmed the information to Nexstar's KTLA early Sunday morning.

The facility, the American Reproductive Centers (ARC), is a fertility clinic and in vitro fertilization (IVF) lab.

Palm Springs Mayor Ron deHarte was one of the first officials to deem the incident “an intentional act of violence,” and the FBI later called it a “terrorism” act.

At a press conference on Sunday morning, FBI Assistant Director for Los Angeles’s FBI field office Akil Davis identified the suspect, who is deceased, as 25-year-old Guy Edward Bartkus.
