Trump Cancels Livestream of Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan's Execution
US President Donald Trump has cancelled plans to livestream the December 3 execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter convicted of killing 13 people in 2009. The execution by firing squad will proceed as scheduled at Fort Hood, Texas, but only immediate family members of the victims will be allowed to attend in person. The decision followed bipartisan and public opposition, with concerns that livestreaming could create a terrorist recruiting tool and expose viewers, including children, to graphic content.
