Hegseth says public can watch Fort Hood shooter's execution by firing squad

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated the public will be able to observe the execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, via firing squad. This would be the first public execution in the U.S. in 90 years, but details on format (spectators, broadcast, or select individuals) remain unclear. The statement signals a potential policy shift in military justice and raises legal and ethical questions.
