Execution by firing squads is allowable in Utah but also in Oklahoma and Idaho.

Well, yes and no...

On April 1, 2009,[28] a bill to eliminate firing squad as a method of execution in Idaho was enacted, and took effect July 1, 2009. As of 2010, Oklahoma is the only other state in which execution by firing squad is legally available, though as a backup method only, in case both lethal injection — the state’s primary method of execution — and electrocution are regarded unconstitutional.

All outcomes are the same. Truthfully I can't fathom that the act of execution is inhumane for someone who showed no humanity to his victims.
