Hasan – who killed 12 US service members, one civilian, and wounded 32 others during a horrific November 2009 shooting at Fort Hood – will be executed by firing squad on December 3 at 1 p.m. at the very military base he once terrorized, Army Secretary Adam Telle announced in an X post Tuesday night.
The murderous ex-soldier’s method of death — by firing squad — was recommended by Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and approved by President Trump on Monday, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced.
“Judgement day for Hasan has finally come,” Parnell wrote in a separate X post announcing the method of death, noting Hassan was “shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ during the [2009] attack.”
Hasan, a former Army major and psychiatrist turned terrorist, attacked troops on line to be immunized at the Texas Army base before being shot in the back and left paralyzed by a responding police officer.
At trial, the mad major told a military judge that he was defending “the leadership of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, the Taliban.”
He was sentenced to death by a military court in 2013.
Hasan will be the first service member to be executed by the armed forces since 1961.
