US Rep. Krishnamoorthi and family were at Aurora temple during…

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA congressman and his family were inside an Aurora, Illinois, temple when a man from nearby Palatine tried to carry out an attack.

2. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's the one-sentence version, Hank, and I'll be honest, I'm not sure how much more we know than that.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Chicago Tribune reports that Democratic Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi was at the temple with his family when the attempt happened.

4. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the congressman was there as a worshipper, with his family, not for an event or a speech?

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Tribune says he and his family were present. Why they were there, and what exactly happened inside, is not in the reporting we have.

6. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWhat about the man?

7. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHe's described only as a Palatine man who tried to carry out an attack.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe won't guess at a motive, because the reporting doesn't give one.

9. 

   Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd the word is tried, which matters. Is it clear whether anyone was hurt?

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe story we have doesn't say anyone was hurt, and I'm not going to fill that gap for it. Details may change.

11. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFair. How did we get here?

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHonestly, the background isn't in the data. Nothing we have says what led to this, and a guess would be worse than silence.

13. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorWho does this touch beyond the family?

14. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnyone who worships at that temple in Aurora, for a start.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorA place of worship is supposed to be the one quiet room in a week.

16. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorRight. Is there a political fight here, Hank, or is it just a security story?

17. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNothing in the reporting makes it a partisan fight, so we're not going to invent one. The congressman's role is that he was there.

18. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorGood. Some stories shouldn't have sides.

19. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat matters next is what investigators and the charges say, and whether officials explain what happened inside that temple.

20. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo we watch for charges and a statement from the family or the temple.

21. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd for anything that says why. Until then, it's a short list of confirmed facts, and we'll stick to it.

22. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorStrip malls get a lot of my attention, but I'll admit a story like this makes me quiet.

23. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorQuiet is a decent response.

24. 

    Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSo the version we understand now: a man tried to attack a temple in Aurora, and a congressman's family was inside.

25. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnd the part that matters most is the part we haven't been told yet.
