The '''firing squad''' is a type of [[death penalty]] that is particularly used by armies and remains an option in some states in the [[United States]], such as [[Utah]].

The '''firing squad''', as its name suggests, consists of a row of soldiers or officers who shoot simultaneously at a victim tied to a post. In some implementations only one of the rifles has actual ammunition and other rifles are loaded with blanks, so that the participants do not know which man actually killed the victim.
