I Found A Gun And The Police Want My Dna

Card image cap

LOCATION: INDIANA

So a few days ago on the night of Rocky Horror there was a shooting at a houseparty a house down from my girlfriends place. The next day (Saturday) I was visiting my girlfriends house and as I was leaving I looked down next to her stoop steps and saw a pistol with blood on the ground. I immediately told her to call the police non emergency line and ill stick around to make sure everything goes ok. They get there swab the blood the detectives are having my girlfriend and her roommates sign a paper to release the gun from their property. They then leave to go get swabs to get their DNA, I decided to head back home since its all calmed down and nothings really happening anymore. I then get a call from my girlfriend saying that they want my DNA to "rule me out" at first I asked well do I need to? I then hear the cop in the back say "we dont need it, but we're trying to be thorough so his attorney can't ask why we didnt swab the guy who found the gun". I wasnt cool with this and basically told the cop you have the blood and the guy who got shot's blood to compare and clearly see it is his gun if you dont need my DNA Im not giving it to you Im uncomfortable with that. My family has been advising me to not give it up to them and the cops told my girlfriend they're going to get a warrant and come find me then cuff me to take me down to get my DNA, or even better she can drive me in. This really upset her and pissed me off, I feel like they're just bullying me now to do something im not comfortable with and I was wondering if anyone here had any good advice. Also to add on the cop gave her his personal number and won't give me that or his work number as he's afraid ill give it to my parents, but he gave me his email and im hesitant to email him as I don't know exactly what I should say.
