A security guard at the compound fired a warning shot at a suspected armed intruder, forcing him to flee.
The police were called afterwards, a Gulen spokesman told local news broadcaster WNEP.
The spokesman added that no person was injured during the incident.
Residents in the area are being told to stay inside as police search for the assailant.
There is a huge police presence with a helicopter above Turkish Imam and founder of the Gülen movement Fethullah Gulen’s compound.
Spokesman for the Pennsylvania State Police, Trooper First Class David Peters, said: “State police are responding to the Turkish compound in Monroe County Pennsylvania, where Fetullah Gülen resides.”
The incident is currently being investigated.
Mr Gulen is accused by the Turkish state of masterminding the failed 2016 Turkish coup d’etat to overthrow Recep Tayip Erdogan.
