Three men were shot in the heart of Indianapolis’ entertainment district early Saturday morning, leaving two of them in critical condition, according to Indianapolis police.
The three are Dutch soldiers in Indiana for training, according to the Netherlands Department of Defense.
The shooting occurred around 3:30 a.m. in the 100 block of South Meridian Street, near the intersection of Meridian and Maryland streets.
Police believe a disturbance between the three victims and another person or people led to the shooting and that there is no threat to the public.
The men are members of the Korps Commandotroepen, or Commando Corps, which is a special defense unit of the Royal Netherlands Army, according to the defense department. The incident happened during the military’s free time, in front of the hotel where they were staying, the department says.
Indy Star give more insight.
Sounds like they were followed back to the hotel from another venue.
Should make it easier to identify the perps, especially if the other venue has video surveillance.
