Discussion
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 ?
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.
