Police are searching for two men related to an early Saturday break-in and shooting in Paducah.

Authorities were called at about 1:30 to Clay Street where they found a damaged vehicle but no victims.

Soon after the incident, a woman arrived at a local hospital with a minor gunshot wound. Officers were able to get a description of the vehicle that dropped her off, and found it near Paducah Tilghman High School.

The driver, 32-year-old Keenan J. Martin, claimed someone unknown shot at his vehicle.

The police department later reportedly learned that Martin and the woman who was shot had gone to Martin's ex-girlfriend's house. The ex-girlfriend said Martin entered without permission and destroyed furniture before breaking out the rear window of her vehicle.

The ex-girlfriend allegedly told police another man in the area saw what happened, and exchanged words with Martin before firing shots at Martin's vehicle, which seemingly led to the woman being injured.

Martin faces charges of burglary and criminal mischief.

Anyone with information about Martin's whereabouts or the identity of the second man is asked to contact the police department at 270-444-8550.
