据美国国防部消息，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普已下令动用行刑队处决前美国陆军精神科医生尼达尔·哈桑。2009年，哈桑在得克萨斯州胡德堡军事基地实施枪击，造成13人死亡；事后他声称此举是对美国在穆斯林世界发动战争的报复。
US President Donald Trump has ordered the use of a firing squad to execute the former US Army psychiatrist who killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Texas, in a 2009 shooting spree the gunman later described as retaliation for US wars in the Muslim world, the Pentagon said.
美国国防部发言人肖恩·帕内尔周一在社交平台X上称，在国防部长皮特·赫格塞特的建议下，特朗普批准由陆军行刑队对哈桑执行死刑。帕内尔指出，袭击发生时哈桑高喊“真主至大”——这一短语在阿拉伯语中意为“上帝最伟大”。那次袭击导致12名手无寸铁的现役军人及一名退役军人丧生，另有32人受伤。
Putting former US Army Major Nidal Hasan to death by Army firing squad was approved by Trump at the recommendation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said on X/Twitter on Monday. Parnell noted that Hasan shouted "Allahu Akbar" — God is greatest in Arabic — during the attack, which killed 12 unarmed active-duty soldiers and a retired serviceman, and wounded 32 others.
美国陆军代理部长亚当·特莱周二在X上宣布，行刑定于12月3日在得克萨斯州胡德堡实施。
Acting US Army Secretary Adam Telle said on X on Tuesday that the execution by firing squad will take place on December 3 at Fort Hood, Texas.
特朗普政府近期将行刑队处决方式纳入可适用于最严重联邦罪行的死刑执行手段之列，其他新增方式还包括电刑与毒气窒息法。增加死刑执行方式的原因之一是获取注射死刑所需药物日益困难，此外注射死刑的执行有时也会因其他因素受阻。
Death by firing squad was one of several forms of capital punishment the Trump administration recently added to permissible forms of execution for the gravest of federal crimes, along with electrocution and gas asphyxiation. The number of federal execution options was expanded in part because of increasing difficulties in obtaining drugs for lethal injections, which have also proved challenging to carry out for other reasons at times.
上周，田纳西州原计划200多年来首次对一名女性执行死刑，但因狱方人员操作失误导致注射死刑失败，死囚克里斯塔·派克虽幸存但被送医治疗。她的律师周二透露，她已恢复意识。
Plans by the state of Tennessee to execute a woman for the first time in more than 200 years went awry last week when prison personnel botched an attempt to administer a lethal injection, leaving the death-row inmate, Christa Pike, alive but hospitalized. Her lawyers said on Tuesday she regained consciousness.
“她的预后仍然不明，但最起码我们预计她需要长期康复，”律师们周二表示。此前，派克的律师曾敦促田纳西州矫正部门考虑替代致命注射的方案，例如绞刑或枪决，以应对行刑者在建立可靠静脉通路时可能遇到的困难。哈桑被认定犯有45项预谋谋杀和预谋谋杀未遂罪。2013年8月，军事陪审团在认定哈桑犯有45项预谋谋杀和预谋谋杀未遂罪后，判处其死刑。
"Her prognosis remains unclear, but at a minimum we expect a long recovery," the lawyers said on Tuesday. Pike's lawyers had previously urged the Tennessee Department of Correction to consider an alternative to lethal injection, such as hanging or firing squad, in anticipation of the trouble executioners faced in establishing a sound intravenous line. Hasan found guilty of 45 counts of premeditated murder, attempted premeditated murderA military jury sentenced Hasan to death in August 2013, after finding him guilty of 45 counts of premeditated murder and attempted premeditated murder for opening fire with a laser-sighted handgun in a medical facility at the sprawling central Texas military base.
当时，他在得克萨斯州中部一座大型军事基地的医疗设施内，使用装有激光瞄准器的手枪开火。此次枪击事件发生在哈桑（现年56岁）原定部署至阿富汗前几周。他在被捕期间被警察开枪击中，导致部分瘫痪，只能依靠轮椅行动。在回应特朗普决定的声明中，反对死刑的“死刑行动”组织表示：“没有什么比拥有杀人的权力更让唐纳德·特朗普喜爱了。”
The shooting came weeks before Hasan, now 56, was scheduled to be deployed to Afghanistan. He was left partially paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair after being shot by police during his arrest. In a statement responding to Trump's decision, the group Death Penalty Action, which opposes capital punishment, said: "There is nothing Donald Trump loves more than the power to kill."
军事处决极为罕见，根据《统一军事司法法典》，军事法庭判处的死刑“在未经总统批准前”不得执行。该组织称，如果哈桑被执行死刑，这将是自1961年以来的首次军事处决。据“死刑信息中心”称，1961年的那次处决是通过绞刑执行的。该中心报告指出，美国军方最后一次已知的枪决是在1945年11月，当时使用的是“火枪”。
Military executions are rare, and under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, a death sentence imposed by court-martial may not be carried out "until approved by the president." If Hasan is put to death, it would mark the first military execution since 1961, the group said. According to the Death Penalty Information Center, the 1961 execution was carried out by hanging. The apparent last known execution by a US military firing squad was one carried out "by musketry" in November 1945, the center reported.
根据“死刑信息中心”的数据，至少五个州的法律中仍保留枪决方式。2025年，南卡罗来纳州执行了美国15年来的首次此类处决。
At least five states have firing squads on the books, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. In 2025, South Carolina carried out the first such execution in the United States in 15 years.
