President Donald Trump stated on Saturday that he has not yet decided whether the upcoming firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, scheduled for December 3 at Fort Hood, will be livestreamed. The Pentagon had confirmed earlier in the week that the military planned to broadcast the event online. In his statement, Trump noted two possible courses of action: either showing the execution as a deterrent or not broadcasting it at all. He also mentioned that while he understands the military’s intent for the execution to serve as an example, he has yet to finalize his decision.

Story summary
Nidal Malik Hasan, the former Army major convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 others in a 2009 shooting spree at Fort Hood, Texas, will be executed by firing squad on December 3, 2023, at 2 p.m. EST. President Donald Trump approved this method following Secretary of War Pete Hegseth's recommendation. The execution will take place publicly at Fort Hood, the site of the attack, to serve as a warning for future offenders.
Hasan, who shouted "Allahu Akbar" during his rampage, was paralyzed from the waist down after being shot by fellow soldiers and has been on military death row since 2013. The decision to livestream the execution is unprecedented; it aims to ensure transparency and emphasize the serious consequences of such actions.
Retired Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford, a survivor of the attack who was injured in the shooting, supports the public nature of Hasan's punishment as it reflects the gravity of his crimes and honors those affected by the tragedy. The execution marks the first military firing squad execution since 1945.
