[DesertSun] An explosion that rocked downtown Palm Springs Saturday morning was an “intentional act of terrorism” that has left one person dead and at least four people injured, FBI Akil Davis, assistant director of the Los Angeles FBI field office, said Saturday evening.

Davis said this is "one of the largest bombing investigations we've had in Southern California," comparing it to the scale of the Aliso Viejo bombing in Orange County in 2018. He said, "We have a person of interest in this investigation, but we are not actively out searching for a suspect."

Palm Springs Police Chief Andy Mills said it appears to be "an isolated incident," and "I am confident that the community is not at risk any longer."

The percussive boom was heard and felt across Palm Springs at 10:52 a.m. and was initially reported to be a car explosion near the American Reproductive Centers clinic on North Indian Canyon Drive at East Tachevah Drive. Police declined to comment on whether the explosion was caused by a bomb.

While several buildings were damaged, some severely, the fertility clinic reported on social media that all staff are safe, and no eggs or embryos were damaged.
