“The two suspects jailed in the critical wounding of a western Minnesota sheriff’s deputy are expected to be charged this morning and appear in court, the Mahnomen County attorney’s office said.”
This is the lead for the metro article about the two deputies shot and their suspects being in court today. It is written very similar to how we have been working on. This is an example of ‘old news’, but it has new information so the writer is trying to make it relevant to today. It is a who lead because it first answers the question “who”-the two deputies jailed in the critical wounding. The what is expected to be charged and appear in court. The where is Mahnomen County. They also give the public a citation of credibility, stating where they received the information.
