Firing Squad Readies for Utah Execution

Barring a last-minute reprieve, Ronnie Lee Gardner will be strapped into a chair, a hood will be placed over his head and a small white target will be pinned over his heart.

The order will come: "Ready, aim..."

The 49-year-old convicted killer will be executed by a team of five anonymous marksmen firing with a matched set of .30-caliber rifles. He is to be the third person executed by firing squad in Utah - or anywhere else in the U.S. - since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.

I did. Only state in the union who still has the firing squad as an option. God bless Utah!

i think that drowning and hanging should be the only methods of execution, i hope they shoot him in the knee cap twice than in the stomach and he bleeds to death.
