Hegseth says firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter will be ‘public’

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the public execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, will be livestreamed. Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013, and the firing squad execution was approved by Trump and Hegseth, scheduled for December 3 at Fort Hood at 1 PM Central Time. The livestream will be available, though it is unclear if troops, spectators, or officials will be physically present.
