Trump approves firing squad execution for Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan

President Trump has approved an execution by firing squad for Nidal Hasan, the US Army major convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people. Outlets including Spectrum News and Politico report the decision, which would break from the federal government's traditional use of lethal injection and has drawn attention amid renewed debate over the death penalty.

Why now: It is a highly unusual presidential intervention in a death penalty case and a rare move toward firing squad execution.
