Here is an example of a summary news lead from the New York Times.

LEAD:
BAGHDAD - American and Iraqi forces raided a house in Baghdad and, after a gunfight, arrested three Iraqis suspected of launching a rocket attack coinciding with a visit here are Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr., the American military said Wednesday.
This is a summary news lead because it goes straight to the meat of the story, although it could possibly be a multi-element news lead, it still follows the summary news lead formula. It tells what happened, why it is significant and when it happened. The multi-element lead comes into play with the two actions happening with Iraqi forces raiding a house and arresting three Iraqis.
