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
All five outlets converge on the Pentagon-approved firing-squad execution of Nidal Hasan and on the Fort Hood killing of 13 people as the core of the story. Fox News and CNN foreground Trump’s role in approving it, while the New York Times and CBS News frame it as a Pentagon announcement. BBC News alone adds that it would be the first US military execution since World War Two, and CBS News in a separate update alone says an email set the date as Dec. 3.
