US Army to Execute Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan by Firing Squad, First in 60+ Years

The Pentagon announced the execution of Nidal Hasan, convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13, marking the first US Army execution in over six decades. The decision, attributed to President Trump, revives a rarely used method and raises legal and political questions. This is a significant departure from recent military justice practice, though the execution's timing and legal challenges remain uncertain.
