PTSD

Does anyone know if someone who has recently experienced trauma can start stuttering?

I'm so worried. My dad's work friend was killed on the job Wednesday, right in front of my dad. They were running heavy equipment, and apparently the friend stepped off his dozer and it was still running and he was run over. He was killed instantly. My dad witnessed this.

He flew home last night, and is with my mom right now. He will be playing golf with my brothers this afternoon and working on a contraption he is making for my nieces (it's a water balloon thingy.) So, I know it will take some time for him to feel better.

I just called him, and he's really stuttering. My dad never stuttered. My dad is a very strong person. I love him so much and I'm worried about him.

Has anyone heard of anything like this? I'm sitting here at work and I can't stop crying and I just don't know what to do.
