A Fort Hood shooting survivor who was shot multiple times by the gunman has publicly voiced support for the gunman's execution by firing squad, while also expressing reservations about the public or livestreamed viewing of that execution.
Both outlets report the same core development (a Fort Hood survivor backing the firing-squad execution but cautioning about public viewing), but center coverage presents it in a measured, informational tone focused on the survivor's personal view, while right-leaning coverage frames the story around a 'warning' to the public and emphasizes the severity of the original attack (noting he was shot seven times) and casts public viewing as something to be treated carefully rather than as entertainment.
Frames the story as a personal account of a survivor who believes the execution method fits the crime but has mixed feelings about allowing public viewing.
Alonzo Lunsford tells the BBC the punishment befits the crime but he has some doubts whether the public should be able to watch it.
