The U.S. will livestream the Army’s planned Dec. 3 firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, a Pentagon official told Reuters. Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people, is set to be the first person executed by the U.S. military since 1945.
WHO: U.S. Army
WHAT: Plans to livestream Nidal Hasan’s scheduled firing squad execution
WHEN: Oct 8, 2026
WHERE: Fort Hood, USA
WHY: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said holding it at Fort Hood on a Thursday at 1 p.m. was a “no-brainer” because it approximated the time, day and location of Hasan’s shooting.
