WASHINGTON, October 9 - The military will broadcast the execution of convicted shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad, according to a Pentagon official. This marks the first military execution since 1961 and the first firing squad execution since World War II. Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, including 12 fellow soldiers and 30 wounded.
Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth confirmed the execution would be public, stating, "We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public." Hegseth noted Hasan's opposition to US military occupations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as his online communication with Al-Qaeda figure Anwar al-Awlaki. The execution, scheduled for December 3, is expected to be the military's first firing squad execution since 1945.
