Three Dutch military commandos have been shot and wounded outside a Hampton Inn hotel in Indianapolis.

The three men, who are members of the Netherlands Commando Corps, were in the USA for military training and were off duty at the time of the incident, which happened around 3:30am on Saturday.

The Dutch Ministry of Defence has said that the three officers were immediately taken to hospital, with two of the men conscious and able to speak, with one man in a critical condition.

IMPD Major Joshua Gisi told FOX 59 that police believe the incident stemmed from an earlier altercation at another location.

The local news station reports that several windows were smashed in the shooting.

The elite Dutch soldiers, reportedly from the anti-terrorism 108 Commando Company, had been training at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center used for training by the Department of Defense "as well as other allies," the Indiana National Guard told WISH.

Muscatatuck is the Department of Defense's (DOD's) largest urban training facility and includes a recreated city to wargame urban conflict.
