The Pentagon announced plans to execute Nidal Hasan, the perpetrator of the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, by firing squad at the site of the attack, with the execution to be livestreamed. This 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, drawing significant controversy. Vice President JD Vance cast doubt on the decision and said he personally would not watch the execution, while experts and commentators have questioned whether officials are misreading public sentiment in reviving public executions after nearly a century.
