Fort Hood shooting suspect will be forcibly shaven if he doesn’t remove beard, judge says
AUSTIN, Texas (MCT) — A military judge said Wednesday that accused Fort Hood gunman Maj. Nidal Hasan will be forcibly shaven before his Aug. 20 court-martial unless the Army psychiatrist relents and agrees to remove the beard he has grown over the past two months.
Col. Gregory Gross, the judge, also found Hasan to be in contempt for violating Army grooming standards and fined him $1,000.
