Police have been called to the Pennsylvania compound of Fethullah Gülen, the US-based Muslim cleric accused by Turkey of instigating a failed 2016 coup, after a guard fired a shot at a suspected armed intruder.

The security guard fired a warning shot as the person tried to enter the compound’s gates, and the intruder fled, said Gülen spokesman Alp Aslandogan. There were no arrests or injuries, he said.

“Just one shot was fired,” Aslandogan said. “The person disappeared. The incident is over as far as we’re concerned.”

Gülen was inside his residence on the compound at the time.

“His response was that the authorities should be informed and everybody should cooperate fully with the investigation to find out what happened,” Aslandogan said.
