Brad Sigmon, the first U.S. inmate to be put to death by firing squad in 15 years, has been executed for the double murder of his ex-girlfriend’s parents.
The 67-year-old inmate was escorted into South Carolina’s Broad River Correctional Institution execution chamber in Columbia shortly before 6 p.m., the time of his scheduled execution. He was wearing a black jumpsuit and black plastic Croc-like shoes.
