LODI (AP) - A second Wisconsin soldier is recovering after the Fort Hood shooting that left 13 dead and 30 injured.

Dave Moxon is the father of 23-year-old Army Reserve Spc. Grant Moxon, of Lodi. He says his son was shot in the leg.

"I got a text message from him yesterday," Dave Moxon said Friday morning.

He said the text read: "This is Grant, I got shot in the leg. I'll be OK."

The text wasn't from Grant Moxon's phone, because it was "lost in the uproar," Dave Moxon said.

Grant Moxon arrived at the Texas Army base on Wednesday and was preparing to deploy to Afghanistan.

He was sitting in a processing room Thursday when he heard a commotion and found himself eye-to-eye with the shooter. After being shot above the knee he pretended to be dead until the shooter moved away.

"I was looking this guy right in the eye, he wasn't even 15 feet away," Dave Moxon said Grant told him about the shooter.

"He hit the floor and played dead," he said. "A bunch of them made a break for it and ran out of the building."

"I can't believe I didn't get hit in the head," Dave Moxon said his son told him.

"We feel very fortunate," Dave Moxon said. "Relative to the overall scope of what happened, this is on the minor side."

Grant Moxon is a mental health specialist - the same field as the suspected shooter, Army psychiatrist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan.

The other injured Wisconsin soldier was 19-year-old Amber Bahr of Random Lake. Her family says she was shot in the back.
