These are three examples of Summary ledes taken from The Baltimore Sun, I took each lede and changed it into a broadcast-style lede.
1. Summary Lede:
A 14-month-old baby boy reportedly abducted early Tuesday from a house in Northeast Baltimore and found five hours later abandoned in a car was apparently taken by a child relative of the parents during a family dispute, a city police spokesman said.

2.Summary Lede:
Carol W. Greider, who on Monday became the 33rd person associated with the Johns Hopkins University to win the Nobel Prize, is a triathlete, a mother of two and a methodical and modest genetic researcher who colleagues say shuns publicity in favor of pursuing her passion: fundamental, curiosity-driven science.
