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 Hegseth 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 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.
FORT HOOD SURVIVOR SHOT IN HEAD VOWS TO WATCH TERRORIST FACE HISTORIC FIRING SQUAD
On Oct. 2, President Donald Trump approved the death sentence, and days later Hegseth announced it would be by a public firing squad.
«Personally, I do want to be there,» Wilson told Digital. «I do want to look him in the eye to let him know, ‘Look, I may have been your victim that day, but I’m not your victim anymore. I survived you. My child survived you, a lot of us survived you. You didn’t do as much damage as you thought you were going to.’»
«You did what you did,» Wilson continued of Hasan’s attack. «Too bad we can’t kill you 13 times over.»
But Wilson has reservations about the decision to broadcast Hasan’s execution to the public.
«I’m kind of shocked that they’re going to go so far as to televise it,» Wilson said. «I don’t really know how to feel about that.»
She fears broadcasting his death could pose a risk of exposing children to the kind of violence she has spent nearly 17 years trying to forget.
«Unfortunately, some children may end up seeing that, that don’t need to see something like that,» Wilson said. «Seeing my soldiers murdered that day, that was the first time I’ve ever seen anything like that. And I can never wash it out of my mind.»
«I don’t know why anybody would want to actually see something like that happen.»
Wilson’s concerns echo objections raised by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.
«Hasan should face the death penalty, but making his execution public and streaming it? Beyond disgusting,» Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., posted to X on Thursday. «Public executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do. It should not be happening in America.»
TEXAS EXECUTES JAMAAL HOWARD DESPITE CONCERNS OVER LETHAL INJECTION DRUG USED IN FAILED TENNESSEE EXECUTION
Trump said Saturday that he will make the decision of whether or not to livestream Hasan’s execution, acknowledging that he knows «what the military would like to do» following Hegseth’s confirmation.
Vice President J.D. Vance also said Friday that he was not sure that the federal government will be livestreaming the execution, also adding that he would not personally view the livestream.
«As far as the execution, I have a lot of mixed feelings on it, to be quite honest,» Wilson said. «Yes, I’m glad that it’s moving forward. No, I…don’t ever want to see another human being die.»
«But in the same fold, an eye for an eye.»
Wilson was working at Fort Hood’s Soldier Readiness Processing Center when Hasan opened fire. At the time, she was nine months pregnant and had reached her due date.
She recalled the moment when she first saw soldiers down and heard the gunfire after pulling into the parking lot upon returning to the center from a lunch break with her mom.
«Before I got the chance to shut off my engine and really get out of the vehicle, that’s when the gunfire started,» Wilson said. «I had several things go through my mind. You know, they say that you have fight, flight or freeze. I kind of had all three. «
She recounted the chaos during the shooting after going into the center building for the first time since taking cover in her car, which she says her supervisor advised her to do.
«Eventually he came back for me and I figured, ‘Okay, maybe… I’m a little bit out of the chaos.’ No, absolutely not,» Wilson said.
THREE DEATH ROW INMATES EXECUTED BY LETHAL INJECTION IN RARE SAME-DAY STRING ACROSS US
She continued, «I get into my building. Desks are tossed everywhere. It’s a total wreck. There’s blood on the wall, blood on the floor, people working on people. And I just kind of locked up.»
«A wounded soldier came in the door opposite of me and said, ‘He’s in the building, he’s shooting, get the f–– out of here.»
Wilson said that Hasan receiving the death penalty will still not bring full justice to the victims of the tragedy.
She called out the federal government for classifying the shooting as «workplace violence,» urging the shooting to be reclassified as an act of domestic terrorism.
«We’ve been betrayed by the government for 17 years,» Wilson said. «They left this as workplace violence. They never declared it domestic terrorism because it was all about, ‘Hey, we need to be politically correct and watch out for his rights.’ Well, what about my rights? And what about me? And what about my family? And what about those that were murdered? And what about those that were injured?»
Wilson has written a letter to Trump calling for the reclassification of the shooting to be recognized as domestic terrorism.
«It’s time for healing,» Wilson said. «And that healing cannot start until the situation is fully rectified, until there’s full justice.»

Mamdani unveils sweeping NYPD use-of-force review, but stops short of fulfilling key campaign promises
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced the launch of an internal review of the New York Police Department’s use of force on Monday, but the initiative falls short of fulfilling several of his campaign promises, including pledges to disband a controversial police unit and eliminate a database of suspected gang members.
«When the government uses force against a New Yorker, the standard for accountability must be at its highest,» Mamdani said in a press release. «Every New Yorker deserves to know that force will be used lawfully, carefully and only when necessary.»
More than nine months after taking office, Mamdani has yet to fulfill several campaign pledges, including disbanding the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, eliminating its database of suspected gang members and shifting police resources away from low-level offenses.
NYPD COP FOUND GUILTY OF CHOKEHOLD IN FIRST CONVICTION SINCE RESTRAINT TACTIC BANNED AFTER GEORGE FLOYD DEATH
The review comes after the May 2026 retirement of one of the officers involved in the 2024 shooting of 19-year-old Win Rozario — a development that came before any disciplinary trial could take place.
Video footage of the confrontation, captured in March 2024, shows officers responding to a house call, placed by Rozario himself. An altercation ensued when Rozario, who was experiencing a mental health crisis, reacted adversely to the police presence, prompting the police to use Tasers on him. Unsubdued, Rozario then grabbed a pair of scissors and advanced on officers, who shot him at close range.
New York Attorney General Letitia James’ office declined to bring criminal charges against the officers in December 2025, concluding that prosecutors could not disprove beyond a reasonable doubt that their use of deadly force was justified under state law.
The mayor framed his initiative as a way to strengthen and improve accountability.
Mamdani’s initiative comes with an additional $2.6 million in funding for the Office of Inspector General for the NYPD. Additionally, the NYPD will also notify state authorities when officers facing disciplinary charges retire, allowing the state to consider decertification and helping prevent those officers from avoiding scrutiny by joining another law enforcement agency.
Those changes will accompany a use-of-force review which, according to Mamdani, is the first of its kind in over a decade and will include a «robust community engagement process.»
«We have an obligation to Win’s family and to every New Yorker who calls for help in a moment of crisis. This review is about making sure our policies reflect that responsibility,» Mamdani said.

MAMDANI WALKS BACK PLAN TO INCREASE NYPD HEADCOUNT FOLLOWING DSA PRESSURE
Notably, the proposed adjustments fall short of campaign promises that Mamdani made to eliminate certain policing activity.
In particular, Mamdani called for an end to NYPD arrests on charges of lower–level crimes like public urination and open container violations, noting that such activity was making it harder for officers to tackle violent crimes.
«The fact that every year we ask them to take on additional responsibilities – we are making it more and more difficult for them to respond to the very responsibilities that drew them to the job in the first place,» Mamdani said last fall.
During his tenure, public urination summonses have gone up, climbing 18%, according to recent reporting.
Mamdani also promised to end a database of suspected gang members. He also demanded an end to the Strategic Response Group (SRG), a policing task force that had received public attention for aggressive tactics in subduing protests.
«As Mayor, I will disband the SRG, which has cost taxpayers millions in lawsuit settlements + brutalized countless New Yorkers exercising their First Amendment rights,» Mamdani said in a post to X shortly after announcing his bid for mayor.

In addition to keeping those elements in place, Mamdani also retained Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, who was appointed by Mamdani’s predecessor, Eric Adams.
Mamdani’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment on whether his police reform plans have taken a different path than the one he originally outlined before taking office.

Las lluvias que afectan diferentes regiones de Honduras mantienen en alerta a las autoridades de infraestructura, que han distribuido maquinaria y equipos de respuesta en 66 zonas del territorio nacional para atender incidentes en carreteras no pavimentadas y reducir las interrupciones del tránsito.
El ministro de la Secretaría de Infraestructura y Transporte (SIT), Aníbal Ehrler, informó que los equipos permanecen cerca de los sectores donde se ejecutan trabajos de mantenimiento vial, con el propósito de responder ante derrumbes, deslizamientos y otros incidentes que puedan presentarse durante la temporada lluviosa.
“En estas 66 zonas tenemos maquinaria cerca de cada uno de los puntos, una capacidad de reacción especial que nos permite poder prevenir o por lo menos atender de manera inmediata las emergencias que se presentan a nivel nacional”, explicó el funcionario.
La estrategia contempla mantener una comunicación permanente con la Comisión Permanente de Contingencias (Copeco), los comités de emergencia municipales y las alcaldías, para coordinar la asistencia en las comunidades afectadas y dar seguimiento a las condiciones de los ríos, las carreteras y los bordos.
La presencia de maquinaria busca facilitar la remoción de material, la rehabilitación de tramos dañados y la atención de puntos donde las precipitaciones comprometan la circulación vehicular.
Ehrler detalló que los equipos de la SIT ya han intervenido en diferentes sectores afectados por derrumbes, entre ellos zonas del corredor seco, San Esteban e Ilama, donde se realizaron trabajos para atender las dificultades ocasionadas por las lluvias.
Uno de los puntos que requirió intervención fue la carretera RN-20, que permaneció cerrada temporalmente debido a un derrumbe. Según el ministro, la vía ya fue habilitada completamente después de los trabajos ejecutados en coordinación con el Batallón de Ingenieros.
La rehabilitación permitió restablecer el paso en ese tramo, aunque las autoridades mantienen la vigilancia sobre otros sectores vulnerables que podrían registrar nuevos incidentes si continúan las precipitaciones.
El funcionario señaló que la disponibilidad de maquinaria en diferentes puntos del país permite reducir los tiempos de respuesta ante las emergencias, especialmente en carreteras que conectan comunidades y que pueden quedar incomunicadas cuando ocurren deslizamientos o daños en la infraestructura.
En la zona norte, uno de los principales focos de atención se encuentra en el valle de Sula, donde las crecidas de los ríos Ulúa y Chamelecón mantienen bajo vigilancia las condiciones de los sistemas de protección y drenaje.
El ministro aseguró que las obras de drenaje construidas durante los últimos ocho meses están resistiendo el incremento de los caudales de ambos ríos. Estas intervenciones buscan mejorar la evacuación del agua y reducir los riesgos de inundaciones en sectores vulnerables.
Sin embargo, Ehrler informó que se identificó un pequeño desbordamiento del río Guaymitas, en El Progreso, que afectó una borda antigua. Según indicó, el punto será intervenido de inmediato para atender la situación y evitar que el problema pueda agravarse.
Las autoridades también mantienen vigilancia en otros lugares donde existen riesgos asociados con el aumento de los niveles de los ríos y el deterioro de las estructuras de protección.
Entre esos puntos figura el río Goascorán, donde se contempla la posibilidad de un desbordamiento. La vigilancia se extiende a sectores donde se han ejecutado trabajos para evitar la socavación de carreteras y tuberías, infraestructura que puede sufrir daños cuando el agua erosiona el terreno que la sostiene.
En el Distrito Central, la SIT mantiene coordinación con las autoridades municipales y Copeco para responder a las emergencias derivadas de las precipitaciones.
Ehrler advirtió que las características topográficas de la capital hondureña representan un factor de riesgo, especialmente en zonas donde las pendientes favorecen los deslizamientos y la acumulación de agua puede provocar inundaciones.
A esta situación se suma la acumulación de basura en tragantes y sistemas de drenaje, que dificulta el paso del agua y aumenta la posibilidad de anegamientos en calles y sectores residenciales.
El funcionario señaló que la atención inmediata de las emergencias debe complementarse con inversiones preventivas que permitan reducir la vulnerabilidad de las comunidades. Entre las medidas necesarias mencionó las intervenciones en infraestructura vial, la construcción y reparación de bordos y el mejoramiento de los sistemas de drenaje.
La estrategia de la SIT combina el despliegue de maquinaria con la coordinación entre instituciones para atender incidentes y dar seguimiento a los puntos críticos durante la temporada lluviosa.
Aunque las obras ejecutadas en el valle de Sula muestran resultados favorables, el desbordamiento reportado en El Progreso y la vigilancia sobre otros ríos reflejan que persisten sectores expuestos a las crecidas.

Adventurer Karl Bushby has finally stepped foot on UK soil after a 28-year journey across the world.
On Oct. 5, he announced he swam the English Channel, from France to England. While resting in Dover, he said, «I’m staring at the Union Jack flying outside this hotel. I’ve seen many flags over the days, but that one is special.»
On social media he shared one of his first meals back, overjoyed to have authentic British fish and chips again.

His journey is not over yet. He hopes to reach the finish line — his mother’s home in Hull — by the end of the month.
According to his website, he received a birthday card in the 1990s from his father about two soldiers arguing over an impossible feat, walking from London to New York via the Bering Strait. Karl grabbed a map and drew a single line, knowing he found his life’s mission.
NAVY VETERANS REUNITE AFTER 30 YEARS FOR ‘GRUELING’ CROSS-COUNTRY BIKE CHALLENGE HONORING 9/11
Bushby is shown moving through Dover, England, on Oct. 9 as he begins the final 250-mile leg of his 28-year journey.
On Nov. 1, 1998, the ex-paratrooper started his journey in Chile, with only a few hundred dollars in his pocket «South America, you were young, it was all new, it was the boys adventure dream,» Bushby said.
He walked north to the United States, waiting for the Bering Strait to freeze to cross from Alaska into Russia. In April 2012, Russia denied his next visa, pausing his expedition. So he started walking in the wrong direction, in protest, to the Russian Embassy in Washington, D.C. The ban was overturned and he carried on with his journey. From Russia he entered Mongolia, China, and swam the Caspian Sea from Kazakhstan to Azerbaijan.
Then it was on to Europe.
«You’ll find that you are way more capable than you think you are, people always underestimate themselves. The world always looks bigger and scarier than it actually is,» Bushby said.

He originally expected the journey to take 12 years, but visa restrictions, the 2008 financial crash, COVID-19, geopolitics, detention and some close calls slowed his progress. He says it’s the people that kept him going.
«The world is an incredible place, and it’s the people, the strangers that I have met along the way, that have kept me upright and moving forward,» Bushby said.
Bushby has roughly 240 miles left to walk. He covered more than 30,000 miles, across 29 countries. «We went at a reasonable pace, we did what we needed to do and it has worked. I know it’s time to stop, I know that much because I feel that in the knees and ankles.»
