NEWPORT TWP. &mdash; Township police arrested a man they say discharged a firearm multiple times on Saturday, striking a neighboring house that was occupied.
				Mulazim M. Mateen, 40, allegedly fired a handgun during an argument with his girlfriend outside their residence at 63 E. Main St. just before 3 p.m.
				Police said a neighbor&rsquo;s residence was struck by two rounds. Several shell casings were recovered from the outside of Mateen&rsquo;s residence and a .380-caliber Ruger was found in dresser inside his house, according to court records.
				No injuries were reported.
				Mateen told police, court records say, he defended himself when a black man fired a handgun at him in a drive-by shooting.
				According to the criminal complaint:
				Police responded to Mateen&rsquo;s residence for a domestic disturbance involving gunfire. Witnesses told police they observed a woman attempting to enter the residence but a man, identified as Mateen, was keeping her outside.
				Witnesses claimed they then saw Mateen exit the residence and discharge a firearm three times before going back inside, the complaint says.
				Police said the woman, two children and Mateen exited the residence as authorities were setting up a perimeter.
				The woman denied any involvement telling officers they were arguing. She then stated she heard gunshots coming from a vehicle that followed her on East Main Street.
				A state police trooper with the Forensic Services Unit recovered two projectiles from a neighbor&rsquo;s house, which was occupied at the time of the shooting.
				A search warrant was served at Mateen&rsquo;s residence resulting in the handgun being discovered in a dresser.
				Mateen told police he was arguing with the woman and while outside, a man in a vehicle fired shots at him. Mateen claimed he ran into his residence to get his handgun, and fired multiple rounds at the vehicle as it drove away, the complaint says.
				Mateen was arraigned by District Judge James Dixon in Hazle Township on three counts of recklessly endangering another person, two counts of discharge a firearm into an occupied structure, and one count each of illegal possession of a firearm and disorderly conduct. He was jailed at the county correctional facility without bail as Dixon deemed him a danger to society.
