   Police in Bowling Green, Ky., arrested a 21-year-old man Sunday   
   who they said stabbed his father during a morning service at a   
   local church.   
      
   Congregation members and security workers at Hillvue Heights   
   Church subdued the suspect, identified as Ethan Buckley of   
   Bowling Green. He was charged with first-degree assault and   
   domestic violence, police told WBKO-TV.   
      
   The unidentified victim was hospitalized, but his condition was   
   not immediately known, the Bowling Green Daily News reported.   
      
   The stabbing took place during the 9:30 a.m. service, just   
   before the altar call was given, police said. Members of the   
   congregation told WBKO that the pair said they were visiting   
   from Arkansas. Both men filled out first-time visitor cards at   
   the start of the sermon, the station reported.   
      
   An associate pastor reportedly tackled Buckley, preventing more   
   stab wounds, one congregant told WBKO. Another said he saw the   
   scene unfold from the church balcony and yelled “Knife!” as   
   loudly as he could to alert others.   
      
   Brent Duvall of Bowling Green told the Daily News that he was   
   praying at the altar when the stabbing took place.   
      
   "I thought it was someone going into cardiac arrest or a   
   seizure," he said.   
      
   Duvall said he saw others tackle the suspect, who was "being   
   very combative." Pastors asked everyone to leave the sanctuary   
   calmly, he said.   
      
   No other injuries were reported.   
      
   Bowling Green Police spokesman Rick Bessette called the stabbing   
   "an isolated incident between father and son," but Duvall called   
   it symptomatic of what's happening worldwide. "It's a lost and   
   fallen world we live in. It shouldn't surprise us," he said.
