Quick Summary

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that the execution of Nidal Hasan, who was convicted for killing 13 people and injuring 32 others during a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, will not be streamed live online despite earlier contemplation that streaming it could serve as a deterrent against terrorism. In his social media post, Trump stated the execution by firing squad would proceed but would not be made available for public viewing through any visual medium.

Story summary

On October 5, 2026, President Donald Trump approved the execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan, an Army major convicted for killing 13 unarmed soldiers and injuring another 32 during a shooting at Fort Hood military base in Texas in 2009. Initially, there were plans to livestream the event on social media, but following backlash from critics and concern over public opinion, Trump announced on October 15 that the execution would not be streamed online. Instead, families of the victims will have the option to witness it in person. Hasan's execution is scheduled for December 3 at Fort Hood, marking the first military execution since 1961.
