A Dutch special forces soldier who was one of three commandos shot outside a hotel in Indianapolis over the weekend has died of his injuries, the Dutch Defense Ministry said Monday.

The soldier, who has not yet been identified, was "surrounded by family and colleagues" when he died Sunday night, the ministry said in a statement.

The soldier was one of three members of the Dutch Commando Corps who were shot early Saturday in downtown Indianapolis.
