Three off-duty Dutch commandos were shot outside an Indianapolis hotel.

Authorities said three Dutch soldiers were shot and wounded in downtown Indianapolis early Saturday after what local police believe was a disturbance outside the hotel where they were staying.

Around 3:30 a.m. EDT, the shooting occurred in Indianapolis' entertainment district. Officers discovered three men with gunshot wounds and transported them to area hospitals, according to Indianapolis police.

According to the Dutch defense ministry, one soldier was critically injured and two others were conscious. In comparison, Indianapolis police said two soldiers were critically injured and a third was stable.

The three soldiers were from the Commando Corps and were in Indiana for training when the shooting occurred during their free time in front of the hotel where they were staying, according to the ministry.

Police in Indianapolis believe the shooting was caused by an altercation between the three victims and another person or people.

While Indianapolis police investigated the shooting, the ministry said the victims' families had been notified.

There have been no arrests.

The soldiers had been training at the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, a 1,000-acre (405-hectare) complex about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southeast of Indianapolis, according to the Indiana National Guard.

According to the Guard, the center is used for training by the Department of Defense as well as "other allies."

"At the end of their duty day, the Dutch soldiers paid a visit to Indianapolis." "During this difficult time, our thoughts and prayers are with the soldiers and families," the Guard said, according to WXIN-TV.

There are no more Fed moves until at least February. We're not getting worse, but we're also not making up for last week's losses."

A change to Ethereum could make a new group of crypto kingpins.

The long-awaited update to Ethereum will add new people to the blockchain ecosystem, who will be called builders. This could change the power structure of what is arguably the most important cryptocurrency network for business. Under the current system, networks of computers called "miners" pull transactions from a special data pool and put them into blocks, which are then added to the blockchain. As part of a plan to cut down on energy use, the miners are being fired. After the Merge update, which is set to happen in September, the builders will put transactions into blocks and send them to the validators. The validators will agree on the order of the blocks that will make up the upgraded blockchain by signing their names. This geeky-looking change, which is part of an upgrade to the software called MEV-Boost, could make Ethereum more centralized, at least at first. Even though there are already more than 416,000 validators ready to process transactions, only a few people ha...
