Original: Pentagon to execute convicted Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Hasan by firing squad

The Pentagon is set to carry out the execution of Nidal Hasan, the US Army major convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people and wounded dozens more. The death sentence, handed down by a military court in 2013, is expected to be carried out by firing squad. The move would be the first military execution in decades and is drawing significant attention to the case and the military justice system.

Why now: It would be the first US military execution in decades, in a case with lasting significance for veterans and victims' families.
