The Pentagon announced it will livestream the firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the perpetrator of the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, at Fort Hood. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the execution would be made public, which would mark the first public execution in the US since the 1930s and the first military execution by firing squad in more than 60 years. Legal experts have called the decision 'unprecedented' and warned it rests on uncertain legal terrain. Reactions have been mixed: Vice President JD Vance cast doubt on the method and said he would not watch the execution, while Fort Hood shooting survivor Alonzo Lunsford said he supports Hasan's execution but questioned whether it should be livestreamed publicly.
