Pentagon to Livestream Execution of Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Malik Hasan
The Pentagon has announced that the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed from Fort Hood.
Richmond Petersburg, VA, October 8, 2026 — The Pentagon has announced plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. The execution is slated to be carried out by firing squad at Fort Hood.
Details regarding the exact date and time of the execution were not immediately available in the announcement. The decision to livestream the event marks a significant step in the handling of high-profile military justice cases.
Nidal Malik Hasan was convicted in 2013 for the November 5, 2009, attack at Fort Hood, Texas, where he killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others. The attack is considered one of the deadliest mass shootings at a U.S. military installation. Hasan, who represented himself at trial, was sentenced to death.
The announcement from the Pentagon did not specify the platform or method through which the livestream would be made available to the public or media. Further details on the logistical arrangements for the execution and its broadcast are expected.
