Tennessee has halted all remaining executions scheduled for 2026 after officials were unable to carry out the lethal-injection execution of Christa Gail Pike.

Pike, 50, was scheduled to be executed Wednesday for the 1995 murder of Colleen Slemmer, which occurred when Pike was 18. Tennessee officials administered two doses of pentobarbital, but Pike survived and was later taken to an off-site medical facility.

The execution had already faced a series of legal developments. A federal appeals court temporarily blocked the execution shortly before it was scheduled, but the U.S. Supreme Court later allowed it to proceed.

Following the failed execution, Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee ordered a comprehensive third-party review and suspended the state's remaining execution scheduled for this year. The Tennessee Department of Correction said officials followed the state's established execution protocol.

The incident is drawing renewed attention to Tennessee's execution procedures and the U.S. death penalty system. It was the second unsuccessful execution attempt in Tennessee this year, according to the Associated Press.
