US Military to Livestream Firing Squad Execution of Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan
The US military plans to execute former Army Major Nidal Hasan by firing squad at Fort Hood on December 3, 2026, marking its first execution since 1961 and first firing-squad execution since World War II. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the execution will be public and livestreamed to demonstrate consequences for such crimes. Hasan was convicted for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 and injured 32. Details on the public viewing format remain limited, with the Pentagon confirming livestream plans but not specifying access.
