Veteran shot 7 times in Fort Hood massacre has a warning for Americans planning to watch execution

On Dec. 3, 2026, the U.S. government intends to take Nidal Hasan to a firing range at Fort Hood and publicly execute him.

Few condemned men could make a more difficult case for mercy.

Seventeen years ago, Hasan, an Army psychiatrist at the time, walked into a soldier readiness center at the Texas Army post and opened fire, killing 13 people and wounding 32 others. Now, after years of appeals, the Army is preparing to execute him by firing squad.

And Americans will be able to watch on live stream.
