Trump approves firing squad for Fort Hood mass shooter
Original: Trump approves Fort Hood mass shooter to die by army firing squad
President Trump has approved an Army execution by firing squad for the Fort Hood mass shooter, who killed 13 people at the Texas base in 2009. Major Nidal Hasan has been on death row at Fort Leavenworth since his 2013 court-martial conviction. The decision would end a long delay in carrying out the military death sentence, and the move is drawing renewed attention to one of the deadliest attacks on a US military installation.
Why now: The approval of a military firing squad execution is an unprecedented and highly controversial act of presidential action on a death row case.
