Missoula, MT, October 15, 2026 —

President Donald Trump announced that Nidal Hasan’s execution will not be live-streamed. Hasan was convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting and is set to be executed by military firing squad.

The announcement addresses two specific aspects of the case: whether the execution will be broadcast live and the method by which it is set to be carried out. Trump said it will not be livestreamed; the information provided does not give further details about the announcement or explain the decision.

Hasan’s conviction is linked to the mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009. The available information does not provide details about the conviction, the number of victims, or the legal proceedings that followed, so those matters cannot be described further here.

The timing of the execution was not provided. The information also does not specify where it is to take place, whether a date has been set, or what agency is responsible for carrying it out. No details were given about the planned execution beyond the stated use of a military firing squad.

The announcement does not say whether any recording or other form of coverage will be permitted; it states only that the execution will not be live-streamed. No additional statement from Hasan, his representatives, military officials or other parties was included in the information provided.

As a result, the confirmed details available are limited to Hasan’s conviction in connection with the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting, the announced method of execution and Trump’s statement that it will not be broadcast live. A date, location, rationale for the livestream decision and further procedural information were not provided.
