Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan to face firing squad execution

Original: Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Malik Hasan to die by US Army firing squad https://www.militarytimes.com/news/your-military

The US Army is moving to execute Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people. Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, has been on death row since his 2013 court-martial conviction. The shift to a firing squad, a rare method in modern American executions, has drawn renewed attention to one of the military justice system's longest-running death penalty cases.

Why now: News that the Army will carry out his long-delayed death sentence by firing squad is a rare and controversial development in a case that has lingered for over a decade.
