yes, broken spokes happen. If your wheel is new, there is a chance that you may have done some damage and the broken spoke is a symptom of more to come.

If you have the skill, replace the spoke, true the wheel, and check to see if your rim is still round without any lumps.

Also, check the rim to make sure you didn't cause any flare-outs or other obvious damage.
