An unidentified suspect accused of shooting a police officer who responded to a New Delhi burglary was charged with attempted murder on Saturday police said.

What kind of a lead is this ?

  • A.Buried lead
  • B.Summary lead
  • C.Clutter lead
  • D.Staccato lead

Answer: B

It is a summary lead.

A summary lead packs the essential facts, the who, what, when and where, into the first sentence: an unidentified suspect (who), charged with attempted murder for shooting a police officer at a burglary (what), on Saturday (when), in New Delhi (where), attributed to the police.

A buried lead hides the main point lower in the story, a staccato lead uses short, clipped phrases, and 'clutter lead' is not a standard type of lead.
