Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed
The Pentagon has announced that the execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, by firing squad, will be livestreamed on December 3. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the execution would be "public" during an appearance on Real America’s Voice News. Hasan, convicted for killing 13 and injuring 32 in a 2009 shooting at the base, will be executed at Fort Hood.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell confirmed President Donald Trump had approved the execution. The last firing squad execution in the military occurred in World War II, with the last taking place on April 13, 1961.
