Pentagon cancels firing squad execution livestream of Fort Hood shooter

The Pentagon has dropped plans to livestream the firing squad execution of Nidal Malik Hasan, the former U.S. Army officer convicted of the Fort Hood shooting. The decision followed public criticism, and U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the livestream had been shelved after American human rights practices drew international attention. Trump said the victims' immediate families may attend the execution in person if they choose. Hasan's execution is scheduled for Dec. 3.

After facing a storm of criticism this month, the Pentagon says it will no longer be livestreaming the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed the previously planned livestream had been shelved after America’s human rights record was thrust under an international spotlight. Trump, however, said the execution can be viewed in person by immediate families of the victims, “if they so choose.” Reggie Cecchini reports ahead of Hasan's scheduled Dec. 3 execution.
