Guards shoot at intruder near US home of wanted Turkish cleric
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA security guard at the Pennsylvania compound of a Turkish-born Muslim cleric has fired a shot near an “unwanted person” outside the gate, state police say.
The suspected intruder fled the scene, and troopers were unable to find him.
Police were called to Fethullah Gulen’s longtime home in the Pocono Mountains after a security guard fired a “warning shot in the air” around 8:30 a.m., according to a statement from the New York-based Alliance for Shared Values, a group that promotes Gulen’s philosophies.
The man, “who appeared to be armed, attempted to enter the retreat center,” and the guard responded by firing the shot, the statement says. No injuries were reported.
State police say they are continuing to investigate.
