No law could require you to call the police to report an offense that you committed (discharging a firearm in city limits, etc.).

Shots are often reported. More often than not, the sound is probably fireworks. If the police take time to look around and don't see anything going on, there's nothing more they can do.

... It went through the my mattress, box spring and stopped in the concrete under the carpet.

At least it wasn't a waterbed.
