Hasan firing squad approved Execution still prospective

Oct 5

Bret Baier reports Trump has cleared the way for former Army officer Nidal Malik Hasan to face a firing squad for the 2009 Fort Hood attack, which Fox says killed 13 and wounded 32. This is authorization, not a completed execution or an execution date.

Fox's October 6 bulletin reports presidential approval clearing the way for former Army officer Nidal Malik Hasan to face a firing squad for the Fort Hood attack, recalling 13 killed and 32 wounded in 2009. Democracy Now's October 7 scheduling brief also recalls Trump approving Hegseth's order. This event records the October 5 public approval announcement. The October 6 Army order setting December 3 and the later public-access pledge are separately indexed occurrences; no execution is reported carried out.
