Cheyanne, Wyo. — A masked woman in a hooded shirt set a fire at
a planned abortion clinic in Wyoming, according to newly
released police video, and federal authorities have offered a
$5,000 reward for tips leading to her arrest.

The U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives
offered the reward Wednesday. The woman was shown in security
video released by Casper police that was taken inside the
Wellspring Health Access clinic in Casper just before it was
burned May 25.

The 30-second video shows a person in a hooded shirt and mask
carrying what appears to be a red fuel can through a room. The
white woman is around 5 feet, 7 inches tall, with a medium
build, and apparently acted alone, police said Tuesday in a
Facebook post.

Early on the morning of the blaze, firefighters arrived to find
a broken window and smoke coming out of a corner of the
building. A person who called police said they'd heard glass
breaking and seen a person leaving the area carrying a gas can
and a black bag, according to police.

Investigators have said they found several areas of the building
where accelerant was used.

The fire was quickly extinguished, Casper police said, adding
that she was in the building about 15 minutes.

The clinic was set to open in mid-June as the only facility of
its kind in the state. The fire damaged a building that was
being renovated and has delayed the clinic's opening by about
six months, organizers said in a statement Wednesday.

"Despite these setbacks, we are undeterred in our mission to
give the people of Casper access to comprehensive reproductive
health care, including abortion care," clinic founder Julie
Burkhart said in the statement.

The clinic building had been the site of regular anti-abortion
protests.

Because of the fire, the clinic might not be able to provide
abortions before an expected U.S. Supreme Court ruling that
could overturn Roe v. Wade. Wyoming is among 13 states that
would ban all or nearly all abortions if the court overturned
the 1973 case that made abortion legal nationwide.

A draft of a Supreme Court ruling that was leaked in May would
overturn the landmark case.

Under a bill signed into law in March by Gov. Mark Gordon, a
Republican, Wyoming would prohibit most abortions should the
Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade.

Exceptions would include cases of rape, incest or to protect the
mother from death or serious medical harm not involving mental
health.
