An explosion reportedly felt more than two miles away left at least one person dead in Palm Springs on Saturday and severely damaged several buildings, including a fertility clinic.

The Palm Springs city government said in a statement that the blast occurred just before 11 a.m. on North Indian Canyon Drive near East Tachevah Drive.

Photos from the scene showed extensive damage to American Reproductive Centers, a fertility clinic and in vitro fertilization lab across the street from Desert Regional Medical Center.

Palm Springs Mayor Ron DeHarte told The Times via text message he could “confirm it was a bomb in or near a vehicle parked at the building. One deceased.”

The Desert Sun newspaper reported that Palm Springs Police Lt. William Hutchinson said the explosion appeared to involve a car parked in front of American Reproductive Centers.

    Religious far-right terrorism continues to be the largest source of domestic terrorism in America. You thought it would end if they got power? No, it just gets worse. The only thing that you can do is stop giving religions free reign in fucking with governments.
