Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan to be executed by firing squad, Pentagon says
The Trump administration has approved a plan to execute former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan — who killed 13 people in a 2009 shooting at Fort Hood — by firing squad, the Pentagon said.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets focus on Trump clearing the way for Nidal Malik Hasan to face an Army firing squad, and both tie the coverage to the Fort Hood shooting. Fox News frames it as Trump “clearing the way” nearly 17 years after the massacre, while The Hill foregrounds the sentencing announcement and attributes the move to a Pentagon spokesperson and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
