Madison, WI, October 5, 2026 — The execution method for Nidal Hasan, convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, has reportedly been approved by former President Donald Trump. The trend summary indicates that Trump has authorized the use of a firing squad for Hasan’s execution.
Nidal Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, was found guilty of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others during a shooting rampage at the Fort Hood military base in Texas in November 2009. The attack remains one of the deadliest mass shootings on a U.S. military installation.
Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013 by a military jury. The legal and appeals process for military death penalty cases is extensive and can span many years.
