A bomb exploded near a reproductive health facility in Palm Springs, California, killing one person, the city’s mayor said yesterday.
The bomb was either in or near a car parked outside of the clinic when it exploded, Mayor Ron deHarte said. Palm Springs Fire Chief Paul Alvarado said no suspect had been identified.
US authorities have not commented on a possible motive and deHarte said he could not confirm if the person who died is a suspect. “It does appear to be an intentional act of violence,” he said. ABC News, citing law enforcement sources and the facility, which was operated by American Reproductive Centres, said at least five people were injured in the explosion.
