Execution by shooting

Rare card · No. 62027

Execution by shooting is a method of capital punishment in which a person is shot to death by one or more firearms. It is the most common method of execution worldwide, used in about 70 countries, with execution by firing squad being one particular form. In most countries, execution by a firing squad has historically been considered a more honorable death and was used primarily for military personnel, though in some countries — among them Belarus, the only country in Europe today that has the death penalty — the single executioner shooting inherited from the Soviet past is still in use.
