  "account": "US President Donald Trump has suggested that the shooter of the Fort Hood attack, Nidal Malik Hasan, should be executed by firing squad, though he has not yet decided if the execution should be broadcast live. The Pentagon has announced that Hasan, a former US Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people and injured 32 others in 2009, will be executed on December 3, and the execution will be streamed publicly. US Vice President JD Vance also remains uncertain about the live broadcast of the execution. The decision to livestream the execution has sparked controversy and backlash from both within Trump's Republican Party and from the opposition Democrats, who argue that such a move is inhumane and un-American.",
