A social worker who worked in Madison is in critical condition after the shooting rampage yesterday at Fort Hood.

Dorothy Carskadon worked at the Madison Vet Center since 2006. She is part of the 467th Combat Stress Control Army Reserve Detachment.

Carskadon is a native of Rockford, Illinois.

NBC15's sister station WIFR-TV in Rockford just spoke to her family. They are currently heading to Texas.

She and her family are members of St. Chad Episcopal Church in Loves Park. According to the Rockford Register Star, the church is collecting donations to help Carskadon’s family fly to Texas. A vigil has been scheduled for 6 p.m. today at the church, 6245 N. Second St.

According to the Madison Vet Center website, Carskadon served as a Team Leader.
