If the caller was believed to have more involvement than just stumbling into a crime scene, investigators might want to interview the person at the PD so the statement can be recorded on video. However, unless the person is under arrest, transporting the subject to the PD must be voluntary. If the subject does not want to go, officers would have to collect the statement on scene.
It would be investigated as any other crime.
I am curious on how this was not reported when you were at the hospital.
Police officers are not required to arrest someone at the time of the crime. People can be arrested after the crime has been committed.

Officers respond from whereever they are at the moment. They might be eating lunch, driving down the street or submitting evidence at the department. They do not sit around at the PD like the firefighters do.
