SAN ANTONIO, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army psychiatrist charged with killing 13 people at Fort Hood is to make his initial court appearance at a hearing in the hospital Saturday.
The hearing on whether Maj. Nidal Hasan should be jailed before trial is to be in his room at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, The New York Times reported.
The Army could have Hasan jailed once he is discharged from Brooke.
Military officials have charged Hasan with 13 counts of premeditated murder in the Nov. 5 massacre at the Army post.
Hasan was shot four times by Fort Hood police officers. His lawyer, John Galligan,
said his lower body has been paralyzed, but the hospital has released no information on his condition.
A court-martial proceeding could end in the death penalty, officials said.
