President Donald Trump said he will make a final decision on whether to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, who is scheduled for execution by firing squad on December 3 for his role in the Fort Hood shooting that killed 14 people and wounded over 20 others. The president’s comments reflect his previous contradictory statements about the matter, with some critics arguing against public executions as a practice associated with oppressive regimes. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth had previously announced plans to livestream the execution to set an example for serious consequences in such cases.

Story summary
Nidal Malik Hasan, the former Army major convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 others during a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas in 2009, is scheduled to be executed by firing squad on December 3, 2023, at 2 p.m. EST at Fort Hood itself. President Donald Trump approved the execution following Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's recommendation. The Pentagon confirmed that the execution will be livestreamed and made public to ensure people understand the serious consequences of such actions.
Hasan was convicted in a military court and sentenced to death for his role in what became the deadliest attack on a domestic U.S. military installation. He had shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attack, which took place at 1 p.m. on a Thursday, and he will now face execution at that same time and location.
Survivors like retired Staff Sgt. Paul Hale and others view this decision as an acknowledgment of justice, though some human rights groups oppose public executions. This would be the first U.S. military execution since 1945. The Department of Justice's plan to expedite federal death sentences includes methods such as firing squads and electrocution. Reuters reported that more details about the livestreaming will follow in the coming weeks.
