Story summary

Nidal Malik Hasan, the former Army major convicted of killing 13 people and injuring over 30 others in a 2009 shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, will be executed by firing squad on December 3, 2023. President Donald Trump authorized the execution following a recommendation from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. The Pentagon confirmed that the execution will take place publicly and be livestreamed to ensure people understand "there are serious consequences for these types of things." Hasan's attack was the deadliest on a domestic military installation in US history, and he has been held at Fort Leavenworth since 2013 after exhausting all appeals. Retired Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, who survived being shot multiple times including once in the head during the incident, plans to attend the execution for closure. This marks the first US military execution by firing squad since 1945.

Why this leaning score

The model judged this article politically coded and scored it +0.35, but 1 quote(s) could not be found in the article and the other 1 are attributed speech rather than the article's own narration, so the score is not published.

Written under an earlier scoring contract, which gave a paragraph rather than checkable quotes. Re-analysing this article replaces it.
