Execution by firing squad - The Encyclopedia |
 | | In some cases, one member of the firing squad is issued a weapon containing a blank cartridge instead of one with a bullet, without telling any of them to whom it has been given. |
| | Execution by firing squad should be considered distinct from other forms of execution by firearms, such as a single shot from a handgun to the back of the neck. |
| | In Utah, the firing squad (a 5 man team) consisted of volunteer peace officers from the county in which the conviction of the offender took place. |
