- Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan is set to face execution by firing squad on 3 December for the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood, Texas.
- President Donald Trump approved the death sentence for Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded over 30 at the military base.
- The execution will be the first carried out by the United States military against a service member since 1961.
- Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, carried out the rampage in an attempt to stop soldiers from deploying to Afghanistan.
- Despite the execution date being set, Hasan could still potentially delay the sentence for years through civilian federal appeals.
