Nidal Hasan

Also known as "The Fort Hood Shooter" Hasan was an Army officer, a psychiatrist stationed at Ft. Hood, Texas. On Nov. 5, 2009, Hasan entered the Soldier Readiness Center, pulled a handgun, and, for 10 minutes, began shooting at the personnel there. He killed 13 people and injured another 30 before being shot himself by Fort Hood's Army Civilian Police. The gunfight rendered Hasan paralyzed from the waist down.

The Army charged Hasan with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder, with the Army announcing early on that Hasan was eligible for the death penalty and that the Army would seek that sentence.

And he would have been killed, not just wounded, much quicker—saving lives, avoiding injuries, and eliminating the enormous cost of his trial, imprisonment and execution—if our troops had been allowed to carry on base.
