SAGINAW (WWJ/AP) – A man whose drug-related prison sentence was commuted in November by President Barack Obama has been fatally shot at a federal halfway house in Michigan after two men with assault-style rifles sought him out, police said.

Two men wearing masks went into Bannum Place in Saginaw on Monday night with plans to kill 31-year-old Damarlon Thomas, a former Saginaw gang member. Lt. David Kaiser said Thomas was shot several times by one of the men as some of the roughly two dozen people at the home were held at gunpoint.

Guess that commutation didn’t work out like expected.

He would have been safer in prison.

This is a seriously planned hit. His enemies really wanted him dead.

Sounds like a professional hit instead of the usual drive by drug thugs.

The question I have: Were the gunmen gang members, or were they relatives of people the deadguy hurt or messed up?

If it was the latter, I hope the authorities “didn’t see nothin’ “.

Likely to be lots of these stories.

Damarlon Thomas said as so many before him have said; “Thanks Obama”
