The Pentagon is facing fierce backlash over plans to publicly livestream the upcoming execution of the Fort Hood shooter. Retired Army Staff Sergeant Alonzo Lunsford—who was shot seven times during the massacre—says he backs the death penalty by firing squad but strongly opposes broadcasting it to the world. Sgt. Lunsford tells Kate Bolduan, "as a nation and as a people, we're better than that... this is not the American way."
