Original Note:
South Carolina uses 3 shooters. Witnesses include up to 3 reporters, 3 family members, and state officials. No one has been executed by firing squad since that method was reinstated in 2021. The most recent execution by firing squad was in Utah in 2010, using 5 shooters. https://www.postandcourier.com/politics/richard-moore-sc-execution-death-row-inmate/article_68623b14-97a3-11ef-8bcc-e769c0dcb6e6.html https://www.csmonitor.com/From-the-news-wires/2010/0618/Ronnie-Lee-Gardner-executed-by-firing-squad-in-Utah https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2022/04/23/explainer--how-south-carolina-execution-firing-squad-works https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_in_the_United_States
