DETAILS:

PALM SPRINGS – A powerful explosion rocked Palm Springs today,
heavily damaging a fertility clinic and shattering windows at multiple other
businesses, with residents reporting feeling the force of the blast miles away.
There was no immediate confirmation of injuries, although there were
unconfirmed reports of at least one fatality and at least two other people
taken to hospitals.
The blast occurred around 11 a.m. in the 1100 block of North Indian
Canyon Drive, either in or near an American Reproductive Centers fertility
clinic which was extensively damaged. Some reports indicated the blast may have
been a car explosion in a vehicle parked near the clinic.
Video posted online by witnesses showed debris scattered in the street
in front of the clinic and windows shattered at multiple businesses in the
area. Residents also reported online feeling the shaking from the blast
throughout the city.
The American Reproductive Centers facility is not believed to have
been open at the time of the blast. According to the business’ website, the
clinic is the Coachella Valley’s “first and only full-service fertility center
and IVF (in vitro fertilization) lab.” Its services also include LGBTQ family
building, egg donation and freezing, fertility evaluations and embryo transfer
