Nidal Hasan, convicted of the Fort Hood mass shooting in November 2009, is scheduled to be executed by firing squad on December 3 at 1 p.m. at Fort Hood, the same military base where he carried out the attack. Army Secretary Adam Telle announced the execution date in a post on X. Hasan killed 12 U.S. service members and one civilian, and wounded 32 others during the shooting. The method of execution, firing squad, was recommended by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and approved by President Trump, according to Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell. Parnell noted that Hasan was shouting 'Allahu Akbar' during the attack. Hasan, a former Army major and psychiatrist, was sentenced to death by a military court in 2013. He will be the first service member executed by the armed forces since 1961.
