The Pentagon has announced that the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter responsible for the deaths of 13 people, will take place by firing squad and will be livestreamed to the public. This marks the first military execution by firing squad in decades, as the Army sets the date for December 3. Pentagon officials, including Pete Hegseth, emphasize the importance of making the execution public, citing a desire for transparency. The decision also comes in the context of renewed discussions around the death penalty and its methods within the military, following the approval from former President Trump for this historic execution.
