棕榈泉生育诊所门前汽车爆炸致袭击者死亡、4人受伤 联邦调查局定性为恐怖主义

加利福尼亚州河滨县棕榈泉市(Palm Springs)一家生育诊所门前2025年5月17日上午发生汽车爆炸:袭击者当场死亡,附近4人受伤。联邦调查局(FBI)认定,这是一起预谋的、蓄意的恐怖主义袭击。
据联邦调查局洛杉矶外勤办公室通报,5月17日上午10时49分,一辆汽车在位于 North Indian Canyon Drive 的美国生殖中心(American Reproductive Centers,ARC)门前爆炸,爆炸波及附近数座建筑。该中心提供生育医疗服务,不实施堕胎。爆炸后,联邦调查局探员、证据响应小组与炸弹技术专家赶赴现场处置。
爆炸造成车内或车旁1人死亡、附近4人受伤,伤者均无生命危险。现场遗骸的DNA检测比对确认,死者为25岁的 Guy Edward Bartkus,家住圣贝纳迪诺县二十九棕榈市(Twentynine Palms),即联邦调查局认定的爆炸实施者。棕榈泉消防局、棕榈泉警察局与联邦调查局炸弹技术专家迅速恢复了诊所大楼供电,没有胚胎在袭击中损失。
联邦调查局洛杉矶外勤办公室助理主任 Akil Davis 在事发当天的记者会上表示:「请不要误解:这是一起蓄意的恐怖主义行为。」联邦调查局其后通报,证据表明这起针对该诊所的爆炸经过预谋;Bartkus 持有反出生主义观念,即认为生育子女在道德上是错误的,他过去就有袭击诊所的念头,其在网上发布的多篇帖子与录音仍在调查之中。调查还显示,Bartkus 能接触到大量可购得的化学品,可组合制成自制爆炸装置;爆炸物的具体构成未予披露。
调查人员在车辆残骸附近发现一支武器与弹药,还发现三脚架和一部带摄像头的手机,显示 Bartkus 曾试图直播袭击,至通报时未发现直播成功的证据。爆炸车辆为一辆银色2010年款 Ford Fusion 轿车,车牌号 8HWS848。记录显示,Bartkus 当天清晨约6时离开二十九棕榈市的住所,在爆炸前已在棕榈泉一带停留数小时。
案件由联邦调查局联合反恐任务组牵头调查,棕榈泉警察局、棕榈泉消防局、河滨县与圣贝纳迪诺县警长办公室、烟酒枪炮及爆炸物管理局与加州中区联邦检察官办公室等机构协助。联邦调查局呼吁知情者通过 1-800-CALL-FBI 或 tips.fbi.gov 提供线索。

Car Bomb Outside Palm Springs Fertility Clinic Kills Bomber and Injures 4; FBI Calls It an Intentional Act of Terrorism
A car bomb exploded outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, Riverside County, California, on the morning of May 17, 2025, killing the attacker and injuring four people nearby. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) determined that the explosion was a premeditated, intentional act of terrorism.
According to the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, at 10:49 a.m. on May 17 a vehicle exploded in front of American Reproductive Centers (ARC) on North Indian Canyon Drive, damaging several buildings in the vicinity. ARC provides fertility services and does not perform abortions. FBI agents, the Evidence Response Team and Special Agent Bomb Technicians responded to process the scene.
The blast caused one fatality near or in the vehicle, and four others nearby were wounded with non-life-threatening injuries. DNA testing of the decedent's remains found at the scene returned a positive match to Guy Edward Bartkus, 25, of Twentynine Palms in San Bernardino County, the individual suspected of causing the explosion. Thanks to the speed of the Palm Springs Fire Department, the Palm Springs Police Department and FBI bomb technicians, power in the ARC building was restored quickly and no embryos were lost.
Akil Davis, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, said at a news conference on the day of the attack: "Make no mistake: this is an intentional act of terrorism." The FBI later reported that evidence indicated the explosion targeting ARC was premeditated; that Bartkus had anti-natalist beliefs, the view that it is morally wrong or unjustifiable to have children; that he had ideations of attacking clinics in the past; and that multiple online posts and audio recordings he made were under investigation. Bartkus had access to a large quantity of commercially available chemical products that could be combined into a homemade explosive device; the makeup of the explosive was not disclosed.
A weapon and ammunition were found near the wreckage, along with a tripod and a cell phone equipped with a camera, suggesting Bartkus attempted to livestream the attack; investigators found no evidence to confirm the livestream succeeded. The vehicle was a silver 2010 Ford Fusion sedan, license plate 8HWS848. Bartkus left his residence in Twentynine Palms at approximately 6:00 a.m. and was in the Palm Springs vicinity for several hours before the bombing.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is leading the investigation, working with the Palm Springs Police Department and Fire Department, the Riverside and San Bernardino County Sheriff's Departments, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California. The FBI asked anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit tips at tips.fbi.gov.
