五角大楼首席发言人肖恩·帕内尔周一晚间表示，特朗普政府已批准对前陆军少校尼达尔·哈桑的处决计划，哈桑曾在2009年胡德堡枪击案中造成13人死亡。
帕内尔在社交媒体上表示，使用陆军行刑队的处决计划由国防部长皮特·赫格斯泰特提出，经特朗普总统批准。
“陆军部长将确定处决的时间和地点。哈桑的审判日终于到来了，”帕内尔写道。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已联系哈桑的律师置评。
作为前陆军精神病医生，哈桑在2013年的军事法庭审判中被认定谋杀13人、造成30多人受伤。哈桑在庭审中承认自己对枪击事件负责，称他向美军同僚开枪是为了保护伊斯兰叛乱分子免受美国军方的打击。他随后被判处死刑。
哈桑的案件可能是自1961年以来美军首次处决现役军人，当时一名士兵因强奸并企图谋杀一名11岁女孩被处以绞刑。
这也将是行刑队处决方式的罕见使用。去年南卡罗来纳州三次使用该方式处决犯人，是2010年以来首次有行刑队处决案例。
联邦政府在 civilian 死刑案件中通常采用注射死刑。今年早些时候，美国司法部表示联邦官员应考虑其他处决方式，包括行刑队、电刑和毒气处决。
赫格斯泰特做出这项决定之前，哈桑的案件经历了漫长的上诉程序。他在庭审中选择自行辩护，并且出现了不同寻常的情况：他与自己指定的备用辩护律师发生冲突，这些律师担心哈桑故意寻求死刑判决。
哈桑曾在2024年向最高法院提起上诉，辩称法官在与律师讨论部分案件事宜前将公众清出法庭，违反了他的公开审判权。最高法院去年拒绝受理这一案件。

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, chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said late Monday.
Parnell said on social media the plan to use an Army firing squad was recommended by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and approved by President Trump.
“The Secretary of the Army will set the time and place of the execution. Judgement day for Hasan has finally come,” Parnell wrote.
CBS News has reached out to Hasan’s attorney for comment.
A former Army psychiatrist, Hasan was convicted of murdering 13 people and injuring more than 30 in a 2013 court-martial. Hasan acknowledged at trial that he was responsible for the shooting, claiming he opened fire on fellow members of the Army in an attempt to protect Islamic insurgents from U.S. military forces. He was sentenced to death.
Hasan’s case could mark the military’s first execution of an American service member since 1961, when a soldier was hanged for raping and attempting to murder an 11-year-old girl.
It would also mark a rare use of a firing squad. The method was used in South Carolina three times last year, marking the first firing squad executions since 2010.
The federal government typically uses lethal injection for civilian death penalty cases. Earlier this year, the Justice Department said federal officials should consider other methods, including firing squads, electrocution and lethal gas.
The decision by Hegseth comes after a lengthy appeals process for Hasan. He chose to represent himself at trial, and in an unusual course of events, he clashed with his own court-appointed standby attorneys, who worried that Hasan was intentionally seeking the death penalty.
Hasan asked the Supreme Court to review his case in 2024, arguing the judge violated his right to a public trial by clearing the public from the courtroom before discussing some of his issues with the attorneys. The high court declined to take up the issue last year.
