Fort Hood Shooter's Execution to Be Publicly Livestreamed

The U.S. military plans to livestream the Dec. 3 firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the event will be public, and legal experts say Hasan faces a narrow, rushed path to challenge it in federal courts. Rights groups and experts have raised concerns that broadcasting the execution could endanger minors, who are usually barred from witnessing executions. Social media platforms may also face decisions about whether to allow the livestream on their services.
