Fort Hood shooter should be executed '13 times over' — but not on live stream, survivor says

A survivor of the 2009 Fort Hood massacre says she wishes the mass shooter could be killed one time for every life he took that day – but even she is questioning the military's decision to livestream his death.

Nidal Hasan, 56, is scheduled to face execution by firing squad on Dec.

3, 2026, and Secretary of War Pete Hegset h announced earlier this month that it will be made available to stream to the public.

"Why would people want to see that?" Julia Wilson, a former Defense Department civilian employee who survived the shooting 17 years ago, told Fox News Digital.

Wilson wants the mass shooter executed, and, as a victim, she wants to attend his execution and look him in the eye.

Hasan, an Army psychiatrist at the time, walked into a soldier readiness center on Nov, 5, 2009, on the Texas Army post and opened fire, killing 13 people and wounding 32 others.

Following a military court-martial verdict, Hasan was sentenced to death on Aug.

28, 2013.

2, President Donald Trump approved the death sentence, and days later Hegseth announced it would be by a public firing squad.

I survived you.

My child survived you, a lot of us survived you.
