FORT HOOD — Retired Staff Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford first locked eyes with Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan on Nov. 5, 2009, moments before the Army psychiatrist shot Lunsford seven times, partially blinding him.
The second time came nearly one year later, when the two men met again at an evidentiary hearing about the mass shooting at Fort Hood, the worst ever on any U.S. military post. After taking the stand, Lunsford's one good eye caught Hasan glaring at him.
When opening statements in Hasan's murder trial begin Tuesday, nearly four years after the massacre, Lunsford, as the likely leadoff witness for the military, expects to meet the eyes of his shooter for the third time.
