It sounds like you only watched the first half of the movie. Kylo Ren lies to Rey and says Luke tried to kill him, but then she talks to Luke and he explains it was all a misunderstanding. He never tried to kill Ben. He just panicked and drew his weapon for a split-second because he had a PTSD war flashback. Y'know, cause he's a veteran. Ben woke up bleary-eyed in the middle of the night with a weapon over him and assumed the worst. We see Ben's memory, but it's all distorted from the actual truth. The reason everyone complains it doesn't make sense is cause, well, yeah it doesn't. It's not true. It didn't actually happen, it's just Kylo Ren telling lies. We later see Luke's memory and it's way more reasonable and actually makes sense.
