Authorities in McCracken County are searching for a gunman who robbed the E-Z Shop on Paducah's South side Friday afternoon.

The on-duty clerk said a man walked into the store with a handgun around 5:40 pm demanding money be placed into a bag.

According to Paducah Police, the clerk stuffed an unknown sum of cash into the bag before the suspect fled toward Irvin Cobb Drive with the loot.

Authorities arrived within minutes, immediately stopping a man in a church parking lot across the street. Police interviewed and released the man after it was determined he was not a suspect. 

A perimeter was established around the area, and McCracken County Sheriff's Deputy Steve Croft alongside K9-unit, Pepo, searched the area for any trace of the gunman. 

Unsuccessful at tracking the suspect, Paducah Police ask that anyone with information regarding the crime contact Crime Stoppers at (270) 443-TELL. A text-tip may also be submitted by sending a message to “CRIMES” (274637). The first line of the message should read “KyTips” followed by the information being submitted. Tips can also be submitted at www.westkycrimestoppers.info. 

Submitting a tip that leads to an arrest or indictment may result in a reward of up to $1,000.
