It is definitely not questionable that she was shot or beaten. The Army's own report states this. You may search all you want but you will not find any credible source stating that her injuries were caused by either beating or gunshot.

And you know what? It should not matter. Your position regarding her should not change one degree based on the cause of her injuries, and you would do yourself credit by adhering to the known and verified facts.

Some snippets:

Two U.S. officials with knowledge of the Army investigation said Lynch was mistreated by her captors. They would not elaborate.

U.S. military sources believe most if not all the fractures could have been caused by extreme compression during her vehicle accident.

Khafaji(Mahdi Khafaji, an orthopedic surgeon) said that Lynch's wounds made him suspicious. The fractures were on both sides of her body, for example, and "if they all came from a car accident, there was no glass in her wounds, no lacerations or deep bruises."

Khafaji said "maybe a car accident or maybe they broke her bones with rifle butts or by stomping on her legs. I don't know. They know and Jessica knows. I can only guess."

This is a good article and summarizes the actions of the other personel involved at the battle.
