Nidal Hasan's execution by firing squad
President Trump has called off plans to livestream the firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter, overruling a prior decision by Defense Secretary Hegseth to broadcast it. The reversal came after objections from a Fort Hood survivor, a Catholic archbishop who urged Catholic soldiers to refuse firing-squad duty, and retired generals who branded the livestream plan "barbaric." Fort Hood survivors have publicly praised Trump for reversing the decision.
