US President Donald Trump has authorized the execution by firing squad of former US Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan, convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that claimed 13 lives and injured 32 others. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell disclosed the decision on Monday via X, stating that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had recommended and Trump had approved the execution by U.S. Army firing squad.
Parnell added that the Army Secretary will determine the execution's date and location. Hasan was found guilty in 2013 by a military jury of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder following the November 5, 2009 attack at Fort Hood, Texas. The approval will initiate the execution process, though no specific date has been set. If executed, Hasan would be the first U.S. military member to receive the death penalty since 1961.
