One of three Dutch soldiers wounded in a shooting outside a hotel in downtown Indianapolis over the weekend has died, the Defense Ministry said Monday.

The commando "died tonight of his injuries. That happened surrounded by family and colleagues," the ministry said in a statement.

The soldier, whose identity was not released, was one of three members of the Dutch Commando Corps who were shot and wounded around 3:30 a.m. Saturday in downtown Indianapolis after what local police believe was a disturbance outside the hotel where they were staying, authorities said.

Indianapolis police said officers found the three men in the entertainment district with gunshot wounds, and they were taken to area hospitals.
