The firing sguad is a method that usually involves between four and six certified police officers. I'm assuming the men will die one at a time because in a traditional firing squad there is only one live bullet that is randomly placed in one of the guns to be used while all the rest are blanks. The officers are required to aim for the head (to make for a quick death) and none of the officers know which gun has the live bullet in it.
So in a sense, the officers will never know who fired the fatal shot...
