US Is Set To Execute Murder Convict By Firing Squad For The First Time In 15 Years

The US is scheduled to put the first person to death by firing squad for the first time in 15 years. Brad Sigmon, who was convicted of killing his ex-girlfriend's parents in 2001, will face a firing squad as he chose the method over electric chair and lethal injection. A Look At Firing Squads In The US Though the history of the firing squads in the US dates back to the colonial times, Utah became the primary state to use the firing squads in the 19th and 20th century with at least 40 executions using this method. Apart from lethal injection and firing squad, the US has used gas chambers, hanging and electrocution as methods of execution.
