📰 News we're reading
• Man dead, woman hospitalized after dispute in Romulus townhome (audacy.com) — A late-night dispute at a Romulus townhome off Eureka near Middlebelt ended in a double shooting that killed a Detroit man and seriously injured a Romulus woman. Police say a 29-year-old Detroit man, the woman’s boyfriend, was arrested at the scene, and Romulus officers continue to investigate what sparked the gunfire. 
• Artificial intelligence is the UAW's latest life-threatening crisis (newsfromthestates.com) — GM is investing $830 million to expand engine and parts plants, including key facilities in Romulus and Saginaw, as automakers pivot back toward gas-powered vehicles. While that’s a short-term boost for local union jobs, UAW leaders now warn that rapidly advancing artificial intelligence and factory robots could threaten manufacturing work in coming years without new protections.
