The Pentagon confirmed Thursday that convicted Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan’s execution by firing squad will be livestreamed for the public. The execution is scheduled for Dec. 3 at Fort Hood, Texas, as reported by Fox News.

The livestream will allow members of the public to witness what could become the first execution conducted by the U.S. military in more than six decades.

The Pentagon provided a brief confirmation to Fox News Digital about the planned broadcast.

“It will be livestreamed. Details will follow,” a War Department official told Fox News Digital. No additional livestream details were included in the confirmation.

“Special Report” anchor Bret Baier also reported that Pentagon officials had announced the Dec. 3 execution would be livestreamed. Hasan is set to face an Army firing squad for the massacre he committed at Fort Hood.

Hasan, a former Army major, opened fire on unarmed soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood on Nov. 5, 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded another 32 during the attack.

Before opening fire, Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar,” according to the source. The deadly shooting targeted soldiers and civilians who were unarmed.

Hasan was convicted in 2013 for the Fort Hood massacre. He was sentenced to death after being found responsible for killing 13 people and wounding 32 others.

President Donald Trump approved the use of an Army firing squad for Hasan’s execution. That approval followed a recommendation from War Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell previously announced the firing squad decision on X. His statement made clear that Hasan’s long-awaited punishment was moving closer.

“Judgment day for Hasan has finally come,” Parnell declared. The statement accompanied the announcement that Hasan would face execution by an Army firing squad.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has recommended — and President Donald J. Trump has approved — death by U.S. Army firing squad for convicted terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan, the jihadist who opened fire on unarmed American soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009. He killed 13 people and wounded 32 others while shouting “Allahu Akbar” during the attack.

If the execution is carried out as scheduled, it will be the first execution by the U.S. military since 1961. It will also mark the first military execution using a firing squad since 1945.

Those two milestones place the scheduled Dec. 3 execution in a category not seen by the military for generations. The Pentagon’s livestream confirmation means the public will be able to witness the event rather than relying only on later official accounts.

Hasan remains on military death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. His execution, however, is scheduled to take place at Fort Hood, the same Texas installation where he carried out the 2009 massacre.

The location returns the case to Fort Hood more than 17 years after Hasan opened fire there. The execution plan also brings the case back before the public through the Pentagon’s decision to provide a livestream.

The War Department official did not provide technical information about how the livestream would operate or where viewers would access it. The official instead said further details would follow.

The central details are now confirmed: Hasan’s execution is scheduled for Dec. 3, the method will be an Army firing squad, and the event will be livestreamed. Trump approved that method after Hegseth recommended it.

Hasan’s 2013 conviction and death sentence followed the attack that left 13 dead and 32 wounded. He now awaits the scheduled execution while remaining confined on military death row at Fort Leavenworth.

Should the execution proceed, the military will carry out its first execution since 1961 and its first by firing squad since 1945. The Pentagon’s announcement ensures the public can watch that historic sentence being carried out.
