By chance did you overtighten your lug nuts? I remember somebody was mentioning that if you overtighten your lug nuts and not to factory torque specs then the stud itself would stretch and weaken overtime till it breaks off. I don't know who mentioned that but that might be a good reason why the wheel came off since 2 of the studs are missing. Well, it's glad to know that your ok.
