America's first execution by firing squad in 15 years

 

n horrific detail, the minute-by-minute account of America's first firing squad execution in 15 years: The bullseye target disintegrated in a volley of bullets. A stain of blood slowly spread out from the dead man's chest

 

A white piece of paper painted with a red bulls-eye was pinned directly over the doomed man's heart.

 

Wearing a black jumpsuit and black Crocs, double murderer Brad Sigmon, 67, shuffled into the fluorescent-lit 'death chamber' at 6pm on Friday for America's first execution by firing squad in 15 years.

 

He glanced at the witness gallery โ€“ where tearful family members sat behind three-inch-thick bulletproof glass โ€“ before being strapped into the execution chair, arms tightly bound to his side, his ankles shackled and leather straps stretched over his chin and forehead.

 

A basin was placed underneath to catch his blood.

 

At 6.02pm, his lawyer read out his final words, which included the now God-fearing killer saying: 'I want my closing statement to be one of love and a calling to my fellow Christians to help us end the death penaltyโ€ฆ Nowhere does God in the New Testament give man the authority to kill another man.'

 

As witnesses โ€“ including reporters and family members of his victims โ€“ watched silently, Sigmon mouthed 'I'm OK' to his lawyer before a black hood was pulled over his head at 6.03pm.

 

The prison worker who put on the hood then walked 15ft across the death chamber and, at 6.04pm, pulled up a black shade to reveal an oblong slit in a brick wall, behind which, shielded from view, stood three armed executioners who had volunteered for the job.

 

Each executioner โ€“ all prison guards โ€“ carried a rifle (of unknown make) loaded with .308 Winchester 'Tap Urban' bullets, which are used by police marksman because they cause 'maximum damage' when fired into a body โ€“ exploding inside the flesh and obliterating the heart on impact.
