A GERMAN footballer has undergone emergency surgery after a shooting incident, which left his aunt dead.
Dynamo Dresden defender, Marc Wachs, was the victim of a gun attack, which also saw his aunt’s husband injured.
The 21-year-old is in no immediate danger following the successful surgery, and the German second tier side’s sporting director issued a statement following the incident — and offered their support.

“Marc, his family, and the process of recovery, both physically and mentally, are now the only priorities.
“Everything else does not matter. I would also like to express our deep compassion to Marc, his family and all his relatives.
“We specifically ask you to respect the privacy of Marc and his family more than ever.”

Wachs’ aunt, 59, was killed in the attack outside the store which she owned near Frankfurt, while her husband, 63, was also injured.
No one has been arrested over the attack as yet.
However the police are investigating whether robbery was a motive and are on the hunt for a man between the ages of 20 and 30.
Wachs — who can play in the centre or on the left side of defence — moved to Dresden in the summer from Mainz.
