Brad Sigmon

A South Carolina man sentenced to death for the brutal murder of his ex-girlfriend's parents has been executed by firing squad, the first such execution in the US in 15 years.

Brad Sigmon, 67, was shot to death on Friday around 6 p.m. local time by three Justice Department staff members who used special bullets to cause maximum damage.

Sigmon was convicted of murdering David and Gladys Larke in 2001 by beating them with a baseball bat and then kidnapping his ex-girlfriend at gunpoint.

She managed to escape as he shot at her.

He chose shooting himself as the method of execution, over the electric chair and lethal injection.

According to officials, Sigmon gave a recent statement calling for a ban on the death penalty.

"An eye for an eye was used to justify my death sentence, but now I know how wrong that is," he said.

After the statement, a black hood was placed over his head and a target mark was placed over his heart.

The three executioners shot simultaneously from a distance of 4.6 meters, and death was confirmed by the doctor at 18:08.

The execution sparked protests from opponents of the death penalty, who held banners with messages such as "Every life is sacred" and "Thou shalt not kill."

Sigmon had requested that his last meal – fried chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, biscuits and dessert – be shared with the other prisoners, but this request was denied.

Since 1977, three people have been executed by firing squad, all three in the state of Utah. The last was Ronnie Lee Gardner in 2010.
