Three Dutch commandos who were in the US for training were shot and wounded while off duty outside a hotel in Indianapolis.

The event happened in the city’s entertainment district on Saturday at 03:30 local time.

According to Indianapolis police, the three guys were located with gunshot wounds and transferred to surrounding hospitals.

One of the guys was listed in critical condition, but the other two were conscious, according to the Dutch defense ministry.

It stated that all three belonged to the Commando Corps, one of the Dutch military’s special operations divisions.

The shooting happened in front of the hotel where they were staying during their spare time, the ministry claimed.

The males and another person or group may have been involved in an earlier dispute, according to the local police.

“Right now the information we’re ready to release is that it was not something that occurred inside the hotel,” an Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department officer told FOX59.

We think there had been an altercation before at another place.

The men’s families had been informed, according to the Dutch defense ministry, and a local police probe was ongoing.
