President Donald Trump has approved the execution by firing squad for Nidal Hasan, the US Army psychiatrist convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood massacre. The execution details are pending.
President Donald Trump approved the execution of Nidal Hasan, a former U.S. Army psychiatrist. Hasan was convicted of killing 13 people and wounding more than two dozen others at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009. The Pentagon confirmed the president's decision, which directs the Army secretary to determine the time and location of the execution.
The approval marks a definitive step in the legal process for Hasan, who acted alone in the 2009 attack. The choice of a firing squad as the method of execution is a rare but permissible option within the U.S. military justice system. The case has remained a point of national reflection on military security and the motivations behind such violence.
