Three Dutch commandos on anti-terrorism training in Indiana are shot and wounded outside Indianapolis hotel: Two are in critical condition
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Final Exam? - Three members of the Dutch Commando Corps were found wounded by police outside of a Hampton Inn in Indianapolis around 3:30 am
- Two of the men are in critical condition in a local hospital
- Police have said that there were plenty of witnesses to the shooting but that no arrests have been made
- The group was in Indiana as part of a training program in urban conflict
The NL Times report says that the commandos were involved in an argument prior to the shooting.
Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad reports that the wounded men are members of the anti-terrorism 108 Commando Company. The group is training at a facility designed to teach urban combat.
'The shooting took place in front of the hotel where the commandos are staying,' said a ministry spokesperson. 'The incident happened during the military members’ free time.'
The hotel where the shooting occurred is on the 100 block of South Meridian Street at the intersection between Meridian and Maryland streets.
Authorities in Indiana said that they do not believe that the shooting was random and that there is no threat to the public.
Although fatal shootings are down in Indianapolis compared to 2021's record-breaking figure of 271, 2022 is still on pace to be the second deadliest year in the city's history, reports Fox59.
Despite the lower overall homicide rate, nearly twice as many juveniles have been killed on the city's streets compared to the same time last year.
The Mayor's office has set aside $15 million for citywide community anti-violence grants.
| It doesn’t sound like hiring more police is on the agenda, unfortunately. |
