The Aporia · Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan will be executed by firing squad at same military base where he carried out mass shooting as date’s set

Army Secretary Adam Telle announced on Tuesday that convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan will be executed by firing squad at 1 p.m. on December 3 at Fort Hood, Texas, the same location where he killed 12 US service members and one civilian in November 2009. The method of execution was recommended by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and approved by President Trump. During his attack, Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar" and claimed to be defending Taliban leadership at his trial.

Story summary

In November 2009, Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist and U.S.-born Muslim of Palestinian descent, killed 13 people and wounded 32 others during a shooting at Fort Hood, Texas. On October 5, 2024, President Donald Trump approved the execution by firing squad recommended by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, marking the first military execution in over 60 years. Hasan was sentenced to death for his actions in 2013 and will be executed by a date set by the Army Secretary. The shooting occurred at a medical facility on Fort Hood, which served as a staging point for soldiers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan; Hasan had previously communicated online with radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. This execution follows multiple requests made over the years by Hegseth since 2013, making Hasan the first U.S. soldier executed after a court-martial since Pvt. John Bennett in 1961. The Army policy mandates that executions must occur within 150 days of presidential approval but no sooner than 60 days. The time and place for the execution have yet to be announced.
