Trump Sanctions Firing Squad Execution for Nidal Hasan
On October 6, the Pentagon announced that US President Donald Trump approved the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, a former US Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people during a mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009. The execution, recommended by Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, is to be carried out by a US Army firing squad.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated that the Secretary of the Army would determine the execution's time and place, declaring that "judgment day for Hasan has finally come." Hasan was sentenced to death by a military jury in 2013 after being found guilty of the November 5, 2009, attack, which also resulted in over 30 injuries. The shooting occurred at a medical facility on the base, which was a staging area for troops deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hasan was ultimately shot by a civilian police officer during the incident and was left partially paralyzed.
