Trump Approves Firing Squad Execution for Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan
The order follows Hasan’s exhausted appeals and would make the Army’s first firing-squad execution since 1945, officials said.
- On Monday, the Pentagon announced that President Trump approved the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan by firing squad, following a recommendation by Secretary Pete Hegseth.
- In 2009, Hasan opened fire at Fort Hood's Soldier Readiness Processing Center, killing 13 people and wounding 32; a military jury convicted him of premeditated murder in 2013.
- If carried out, Hasan would be the first military member executed since 1961, when Army Pvt. John Bennett was hanged, as firing-squad executions remain rare in the United States.
- Pentagon spokesman Parnell confirmed that "The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution," following Hasan's exhaustion of appeals in 2025.
- Hasan has been held at the Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, since his 2013 conviction, marking the first military execution in over 60 years.
