<p>A search warrant was executed at a location in Twentynine Palms in connection to the explosion, Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI&#8217;s Los Angeles field office, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/palm-springs-explosion-riverside-county-southern-california/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a press conference.

<p>Davis additionally mentioned that Bartkus &#8220;had nihilistic ideations and this was a targeted attack&#8221; against the fertility clinic. He noted later: &#8220;We believe he was attempting to livestream it and, yes, that is also part of our investigation.&#8221;</p>
<p>ARC said it &#8220;will be fully operational on Monday morning, and our team is here to answer any concerns you may have,&#8221; adding, &#8220;We appreciate the incredible support from our patients and local community, as well as the swift action of Palm Springs Police, Fire, and emergency responders.&#8221;</p>
