Writing from his cell on death row at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan has declared he is going on a “99 pound hunger strike,” according to a letter reviewed by Fox News. The former Army psychiatrist, who opened fire on unarmed fellow soldiers at Fort Hood, Texas, in November 2009, killed 13 people and injured 31 that day. Manning’s next hearing is scheduled for April 11 at Fort Lewis, Wash. Manning and 41 of his fellow soldiers injured and killed at Fort Hood were finally awarded Purple Hearts in 2015. Hasan, now partially paralyzed, is one of six inmates on military death row at Fort Leavenworth. “If Major Hasan dies while the mandatory appellate process is pending, the findings and sentence will be set aside,” Galligan said.
