Local police said they believed there had been an earlier altercation between the men and another person or group.
Speaking to FOX59, an officer with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department said: “Right now the information we’re willing to disclose is that it was not something that occurred inside the hotel.
“It was a previous altercation we believe at another location.”
The Dutch defence ministry said the men’s families had been informed and that an investigation by local police was under way.
No arrests have been made.
