Hegseth wants Fort Hood shooter’s execution by firing squad to be public

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Thursday he wants the public to be able to watch the firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.

“He’s going to get a firing squad of soldiers. As it should be,” Hegseth said in an interview with far-right political activist Jack Posobiec. “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it. That it’s public. Because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”
