Idaho adopts firing squads for executions
Idaho will become the first U.S. state to designate firing squads as its primary method of execution starting July 1, replacing lethal injection due to drug availability issues. Executions will be carried out at the Idaho Maximum Security Institution by three volunteer marksmen using .308 caliber rifles, with the process overseen by a team including backup members. The change follows legislation passed in 2023 allowing firing squad executions as an alternative if lethal injection is unavailable, and comes amid broader challenges to traditional death penalty methods.
