Army Plans to Put Fort Hood Killer to Death

The Army plans to put convicted Fort Hood killer Nidal Hasan to death by firing squad — shooters firing together — at 1 p.m. CST on Dec. 3, 2026, at Fort Hood, Texas. Hasan, an Army mental-health doctor, killed 13 soldiers there in 2009 and was sentenced to death in 2013. It would be the military's first execution since 1961.
