Fort Hood Shooter Nidal Hasan Set for Execution December 3

Clarksburg Weston, WV, October 6, 2026 — The U.S. Army Major convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting rampage, Nidal Hasan, is scheduled for execution. The execution is planned for December 3 and is to be carried out by firing squad.

Nidal Hasan was convicted for his role in the 2009 attack that resulted in the deaths of 13 people and injured many others at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. The incident, which occurred on November 5, 2009, remains one of the deadliest mass shootings on a U.S. military installation.

Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was found guilty of 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder. The jury that convicted him also recommended the death penalty, which was subsequently handed down by a military court. The legal proceedings and appeals process have spanned over a decade.

The scheduled execution date marks a significant point in the case, bringing a close to a long and complex legal journey. The method of execution specified is firing squad. Details regarding the specific location or other procedural aspects of the execution were not provided in the summary.
