Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan to face Army firing squad
Original: Fort Hood mass shooter Nidal Malik Hasan to die by US Army firing squad
The US Army has moved toward execution by firing squad for Nidal Malik Hasan, the Army major convicted of the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, which killed 13 people and wounded dozens more. Hasan, who has been on death row at Fort Leavenworth since his 2013 sentencing, has never appealed his death sentence, and the decision to proceed by firing squad is drawing renewed attention to one of the military's longest-running capital cases.
Why now: The Army's choice of execution method for the Fort Hood shooter revives a major death penalty case more than a decade after the attack.
