Story summary

Nidal Malik Hasan, a former Army major convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 others at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, is set to be executed by firing squad on December 3, acting Army Secretary Adam Telle announced. President Donald Trump approved the execution following a recommendation from War Secretary Pete Hegseth. Hegseth stated that the execution will be public and livestreamed, emphasizing that it should serve as an example of serious consequences for such acts. Hasan's attack is considered the deadliest on a domestic military installation in U.S. history. The Army has scheduled the execution at 2 p.m. EST at Fort Hood, matching the time and day of the original shooting incident. This will mark the first US military execution by firing squad since 1945.
