FIRING SQUAD: The Fort Hood Killer Gets His Date

Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist who murdered 13 people and wounded 32 at Fort Hood in 2009, will be executed by firing squad at Fort Hood on December 3, per CBS News Texas, NBC News and the acting Army secretary's own announcement. President Trump approved the death sentence on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's recommendation, and the Army set the date and the place: the post where he did it. It will be the first execution carried out by the U.S. military since 1961, and the first by firing squad since World War II. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell: "Judgment day for Hasan has finally come." Seventeen years those families waited. Seventeen years. Chuck reads the order, as reported by Breitbart News and CBS News.
