An Iowa soldier who arrived at Fort Hood in Texas this week is among the soldiers wounded in a rampage that left 13 others dead.

Jerry Nelson, of Des Moines, says his daughter, 27-year-old Staff Sgt. Joy Clark, was in the Soldier Readiness Center on Thursday when a gunman came in. Nelson says a soldier in front his daughter was shot.  He says she ``peeled off her jacket to cover the soldier'' and that's when she was shot in her left forearm.  Nelson, who spoke with his daughter Friday, says she is in stable condition and is awaiting surgery.

Clark arrived in Fort Hood on Tuesday for additional training with a medical team. She was scheduled to be deployed overseas later this year.  Clark was formerly based in Des Moines with an U.S. Army Reserve unit.
