SOSUA, Dominican Republic, Oct. 18 (UPI) -- The German leader of a UFO-conspiracy sect has been arrested in the Dominican Republic following a gunbattle with police during which one person was killed.
Three officers also were injured in the shooting when police, justice officials and members of Interpol attempted to execute a search warrant for illegal weapons at a villa near the tourist town of Sosua, The Local.de reported Thursday.
Police arrested Peter Brunck of Rhineland-Palatinate and a woman who was reported to be wearing a bulletproof vest.
Brunck is reported to be the leader of the Academy for Future Health, which operated a website until May that claimed governments had hidden decades of secret contact with beings from other worlds.
The gunfight, during which police said high-caliber weapons were used, was reported to have gone on for an hour, leaving dead another German man who also was wearing a bullet-proof vest. He has not been publicly identified.
Once inside the villa, police said they found a large number of guns.
