If you view the report from a mainstream news source (NBC Affiliate WCAU) you'll find this opening line, "Police are investigating an incident at a Berks County hunting club in which someone on the hunting grounds allegedly targeted a mechanical flying object rather than a living and breathing one." It concludes that "... the Berks County's District Attorney. He told us the pigeon shoots are legal and that he also wants to find a way to put a stop to what he considers a "potentially deadly cat and mouse game" between SHARK and Wing Pointe."

"Investigating" is not the same as "nothing".
Likely they "did nothing" immediately because there was no evidence showing WHO actually shot it down (hence they are "investigating"). Besides that, there may or may not have been any CRIMINAL law broken (though the fact that the shooter refused to show himself suggests he was not certain that he was totally within his rights - or he was a coward - or both). Police only act in the case of a criminal violation, they do not act in the case of a civil violation (except to possibly preclude further violation or escalation to criminal activity). The fact that they are investigating suggests they believe there's at least the potential for some law having been broken - otherwise they would, in fact, do nothing.
