Trump Approves Firing Squad for Fort Hood Shooter

Original: Trump approves Fort Hood mass shooter to die by army firing squad

President Trump has approved an execution by army firing squad for the Fort Hood mass shooter, moving forward with a death sentence for the 2009 attack that killed 13 people at the Texas military base. The decision stands out because military executions are extremely rare, with no service member executed by the US military since 1961, drawing broad attention and debate.

Why now: Military executions are exceptionally rare, making the presidential approval of a firing squad death sentence a striking development in a long-running case.
