Fort Hood Shooter Faces Firing Squad: What We Know
The Pentagon will execute convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad, ABC News reported.
CNBC reported that President Trump approved the Army firing squad execution. The Guardian confirmed the Pentagon’s announcement.
Hasan killed 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. He was sentenced to death by a military court.
Military executions are extremely rare. The firing squad method is almost never used in modern America.
The decision ends years of legal process. The execution date has not been announced.
The 2009 shooting was the deadliest ever on a US military base. Hasan was an Army psychiatrist at the time. His death sentence was upheld on appeal years ago. Military executions are extremely rare in modern America. A date for the execution has not been announced.
Victims’ families have waited over a decade for this step. The Pentagon says the process will follow military law. The case remains one of the most high-profile in military justice.
