President Donald Trump said Thursday that the government will not livestream the firing-squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan — canceling a plan announced last week by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

While publicly streaming Hasan’s execution “might have been a strong deterrent for the World to witness how America deals with Terrorists and SCUM like Hasan,” Trump said in a Truth Social post, “many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device.”

“He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed,” the president said, adding that family members of Hasan’s victims will be able to view the Dec. 3 execution in person.

The Army sentenced Hasan, a former major, to death in 2013 for killing 13 people and injuring 32 others at Texas’ Fort Hood Army base in 2009.

Trump’s announcement follows widespread pushback from Republicans and Democrats alike after Hegseth said last week that Hasan is “going to get a firing squad of soldiers, and we’ll make sure that people are able to watch it.” Some critics cited concerns about reinforcing Hasan’s stated desire for martyrdom; others argued that making the execution public was contrary to American values.

Signs that the plan could be reversed emerged quickly. A day after the defense secretary’s announcement, Vice President JD Vance said of the livestream, “I don’t know that’s going to happen.”

Speaking to reporters at the White House over the weekend, Trump said he would make the final call.

“There are two thoughts: don’t show it and show it. ’Cause you know, by showing it, maybe other people won’t be doing what he did. So I’ll make a decision ultimately. I know what the military would like to do, but I’ll make a decision,” the president said.

In an interview with CBS News earlier this week, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said he was concerned that a video of Hasan’s execution could be used by future terrorists as a recruiting tool.

“We’ve got to think through the policy implications of all that,” he said, adding, “I wouldn’t be watching it if it was aired.”

The speaker also said that he needed to convey to the White House the views of his Republican colleagues in Congress, saying, “Not everybody is in favor of the idea.”

The U.S. military last conducted an execution in 1961, when it hanged Army Pvt. John Bennett after he was convicted of raping and attempting to kill an 11-year-old girl in Austria. The military last executed someone by firing squad in 1945, when it put Pvt. Eddie Slovik to death after he was court-martialed for desertion during World War II.

Jakub Zalewski, 19, commited a mass stabbing at his High School in Ostrołęka on October 7, 2026 in Poland.

His father Krzysztof Zalewski, 45, commited suicide today. Krzysztof was abusing his family for almost 20 years and was released from prison a few months ago.

The incident took place at Aliya İzzet Begoviç Middle School in the Gürselpaşa neighborhood of Seyhan, a district of Adana. According to reports, a sixth-grade girl whose name has not been disclosed approached a classmate during recess and allegedly injured her arm with a bread knife she had brought to school in her bag from home. After other students informed their teachers, police and medical teams were dispatched to the school. The injured student, who sustained a minor arm injury, was taken to the hospital as a precaution. The student responsible for the attack was taken to the Juvenile Police Department by police officers. Classes at the school were suspended for one day following the incident.

A family patriarch had become “increasingly controlling” inside his “filthy” northwest Pennsylvania home before opening fire and killing eight people last week, officials said Thursday.

Matthew Stone, 45, died of a self-inflicted gunshot on Friday evening, bringing a tragic end to years of descent inside his Perry Street house in Erie, authorities said. The weapon he used was linked to a previous domestic violence allegation, according to police.

Toilets and sinks did not appear to be working and 2-liter bottles filled with urine were all over the house, Erie Police Chief Rick Lorah said.

“Detectives described the home as extremely filthy,” Lorah told reporters.

Loved ones painted a disturbing picture of Stone’s dominant role inside that house, police said.

“According to relatives, he controlled the family’s finances ... and restricted when family members could leave the residence or spend time with relatives,” Lorah said.

The police chief went on to say that family members told detectives that his behavior had been going on for years. They described Matthew becoming increasingly controlling after his wife, Michelle Stone, became pregnant with their first child.

“Over time, contact with extended family became more limited. Michelle stopped maintaining contact with friends,” Lorah said. “Our department also had a record of prior domestic violence incident at that home.”

In that 2019 case, Stone was arrested for allegedly making threats with a .40-caliber handgun. But the case went away when Michelle Stone declined to help press charges, Lorah said.

“A firearm was involved in that case, the same .40-caliber handgun that was used in Friday’s homicides,” Lorah said. “At the preliminary hearing, Michelle changed her original statement and those charges were withdrawn. There were no more recent domestic violence incidents reported to our department. Outside of that 2019 case, Matthew had no criminal history and was legally permitted to possess that firearm.”

Chief Lorah and Mayor Daria Devlin pledged to examine city contacts with Stone to find if anyone could have intervened before Friday’s bloodshed.

“Were there opportunities to recognize that this family was struggling?” Devlin said. “Were there places where our systems could have responded differently and how do we make sure that families in this community who are suffering and struggling like this don’t fall through the cracks?”

The victims included the killer’s wife, Michelle Stone, 44; pregnant daughter, Angelina K. Stone, 24; sons Matthew Stone Jr., 21, and Jonathan Stone, 19; and sister-in-law Lora Lee Roberts, 37; and her friend Twila A. Tanner, 51.

Two other unidentified children, a 5-year-old boy and a nearly 2-year-old girl who were also related to the shooter, were killed inside the house, officials said.

Roberts and her friend Tanner had come to the house when Angelina Stone, who was due to give birth on Monday, asked for a ride to the hospital.

“Angelina had been sending messages indicating she planned to leave the family home after giving birth,” Lorah said. “When detectives searched the home following the shooting, they found numerous belongings packed into bags and boxes in Angelina’s bedroom.”

Angelina Stone had also filed paperwork to change her last name to distance herself from her eventual killer.

“In that affidavit, she described concerns about her father’s declining mental health,” Lorah said. “She explained that she wanted to pursue a career in medicine and did not want her association with her father to affect those plans.”
