Before or After, Which is it?

Catching up on the news this morning I hear a reporter ask if Pfc. Jessica Lynch's broken bones happened before or after she was captured. The answer, to my amazement, is still, we don't know. Why can't they just ask her what happened? I'm sure they already did, so why can't we know? Also, I heard she wasn't shot, now I hear she was shot, twice.

If they don't want us to know, fine, just say that. But why don't the people in charge know? That is so frustrating.
