Police called to Turkish cleric's US compound after shot fired
None
Police were called to the Pennsylvania compound of Fethullah Gulen, the US-based Muslim cleric accused by Turkey of instigating a failed 2016 coup, on Wednesday after a guard fired a shot at a suspected armed intruder, a Gulen spokesman said.
The security guard fired a warning shot as the person tried to enter the compound's gates, and the intruder fled, the spokesman said. There are no known injuries or arrests, Alp Aslandogan, Gulen's media adviser, told Reuters.
"Just one shot was fired," Aslandogan said. "The person disappeared. The incident is over as far as we're concerned."
Gulen 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.
