Tyler Longview, TX, October 8, 2026 — The Pentagon has announced plans to livestream the execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the former Army psychiatrist convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting. The execution by firing squad is scheduled to occur at Fort Hood, Texas.

Details regarding the specific date and time of the execution have not been publicly disclosed. The decision to livestream the event marks a significant development in the handling of high-profile military executions.

Nidal Malik Hasan was found guilty in 2013 of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood. He was sentenced to death following his conviction.

The announcement from the Pentagon indicates that measures are being put in place to allow the execution to be broadcast. The location for the livestream viewing has not been specified, nor has the method of access been detailed. The U.S. military justice system has specific protocols for executions, and this livestreaming decision adds a new layer to those procedures.

Fort Hood, now officially known as Fort Cavazos, is the site where the original attack took place and where Hasan is expected to be executed. The legal and logistical preparations for carrying out the sentence have been ongoing since his conviction.
