Pentagon orders Fort Hood shooter executed by firing squad
Original: Pentagon: Fort Hood shooter to be executed by firing squad https://www. upi.com/Top_News/US/2026/10/06 /Pentagon-Nidal-H
The Pentagon has approved the execution of Nidal Hasan, the US Army major convicted of killing 13 people in the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas. His death sentence, in place since his 2013 court-martial, will now be carried out by firing squad, renewing discussion of one of the deadliest attacks on a US military installation and the long delay in carrying out military death penalty sentences.
Why now: The Pentagon's decision to move forward with the execution after more than a decade on death row is a significant and rare development in the US military justice system.
