US President Donald Trump has approved the execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan, the former US Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people during the 2009 Fort Hood shooting in Texas.
Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the execution was recommended by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and approved by President Trump. The Army secretary will determine the date and location of the execution.
Hasan was sentenced to death in August 2013 after a military jury found him guilty of 45 counts of premeditated murder and attempted murder. He opened fire inside a medical facility at Fort Hood in November 2009, killing 12 active-duty soldiers and a retired serviceman and wounding more than 30 others.
Hasan was arrested at the scene after police shot him, leaving him partially paralysed. During his court-martial, he said the attack was intended to prevent soldiers from being deployed to Afghanistan and killing fellow Muslims.
If carried out, Hasan's execution would be the first execution of a US military service member in more than 60 years. Military executions are extremely rare in the United States and require presidential approval under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
The Trump administration added firing squad, gas asphyxiation and electrocution to the list of authorised execution methods in April 2026.
The last known US military execution took place in 1961, while the last known military firing-squad execution was carried out in 1945.
