In a situation that traumatic the best thing you can do is make it very clear to your friend that you are there for him. Dont push him to talk or bring up the incident. Getting over things that traumatic takes time and often people who go through stuff like that seem distant. This is a normal reaction and it doesnt mean hes angry at you or he doesnt trust you enough to talk with you about it. He is probably just taking in the reality of what happened and feeling a bit overwhelmed. The best thing you can do for him as a friend is to be around. Tell him that you are there to talk to anytime and that you want to chill with him even if that doesnt include talking about the situation or anything for that matter. Sometimes the comfort people recieve by having friends physically around them is more than any words can accomplish. He will come around it just takes time.
