The military plans to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, who is scheduled to be executed by firing squad on December 3 at Fort Hood. This marks the first time the U.S. military will carry out an execution by firing squad in decades and will be the first publicly livestreamed execution in American history, according to the Pentagon.
Hasan was responsible for a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood that resulted in the deaths of 13 people and wounded 32 others, making it one of the deadliest shootings ever at a U.S. military installation. The announcement of the livestreaming comes from Pentagon officials, as reported by Fox News.
