If they believe it was a one time incident and not likely to ever to happen again--that might be another story.
The exposure to harm was also a concern, which is why I personally agree with informing all involved.

If it was a "one time " thing then that should be discussed at the same time.
Only time will tell if it was or wasn't.

I also agree a trainer/behavourist should be contacted and to speak with all involved, and after evaluating the animal give a professional opinion on the likely hood of it recurring, and to offer support and training to help.
