I agree with the return to the shop where you bought it. That's a serious defect that had to pre-exist. The only time I saw anything close to what happened to you was when a friend took a Mongoose dual sus with single wall wheels on the Harris Lake trail. Bike only lasted about 2 miles when he took a log and that toasted the rear wheel, taco'd really bad. But I think we can all understand what happened there, your situation is worse.
Let the shop see it and see what they say.
You didn't say what brand of bike it was. If it's a major player, they will be interested in getting the bike back and may make you an offer to your liking.
