US to livestream military execution of Fort Hood shooter

Filed · 3 publisher pages · upstream origin unresolved

The U.S. military will livestream the execution of Nidal Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, marking the first such execution since 1945.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the execution will be public, stating it is a 'no-brainer' to ensure transparency. The event is scheduled for December 3 at Fort Hood, Texas, where Hasan committed the shootings.

The Pentagon confirmed President Donald Trump approved the firing squad execution, with officials noting the decision to livestream the event is unprecedented and may face legal challenges.

Legal experts suggest the Supreme Court has not addressed the issue of livestreaming executions, raising questions about the legality and public interest in witnessing the event.
