Breitbart News reported in March that double murderer Brad Sigmon was executed by firing squad in South Carolina on March 7, 2025.
The Associated Press reported that 67-year-old Sigmon was shot at 6:05 p.m. “by three volunteer prison employees.” He was pronounced dead at 6:08 p.m. FOX News noted that Sigmon was the fourth inmate in the U.S. since 1976 to die by firing squad.
