The lead for this story is very simple and straight forward. It contains all of the crucial parts we discussed in class which are present in a good news lead.
The who, what, when, and where are all answered within this lead. It is also a fairly simple lead, and is kind of vague in some areas.
Maybe the reporter decided to keep this lead short because they did not want to bog down the reader with too many facts right away. Overall I thought this was a great lead, and the reporter did a good job of gathering the facts and putting them into a simple but effective lead.
