Any know what the security keeps attacking me.

Yep. Shot a locally wanted guy at a USS. Cops immediately turn red and open fire - but I am not wanted and have no bounty on me.
So I left without shooting back, and the next time police scanned me they left me alone.

Yeah, I have the same issue.. Just started doing bounty hunting just for kicks, and when I attack a wanted NPC (probably local), the Fed Security Forces go red as well and open fire on me. I ignore them, and frameshift out. As the previous person stated, next time I'm scanned, they left me alone.
Yep. I get this all the time. In fact, it was starting to silly earlier on while doing a mission to kill pirates.
I'm wondering if it's not actually a bug. It seems to me that those wanted ships have report crimes against me turned on and you firing on them triggers the CRIME IS HAPPENING event, even though it hasn't, because their wanted. Then the security services target you, because you fired the shot.
At one point I thought this was happening because the security services were friendly with the perp, but now I'm not so sure.
Wait until you get attacked at a Nav beacon by a standard non cop ship and they don't get a wanted status. That really annoys me.

You were shooting their employers.
The system police force are payed by the ruling factions if you shoot the wanted npcs at nav points check their faction first.
Shooting a wanted target insight of npcs will lower your reputation with that faction you are shooting.
So killing npcs at a nav beacon, resource extraction or near a station will get you a negative rep towards the faction the npc belongs to.
Kill them in deep space IE at a USS or pull them from SC and you will not gain a reputation hit as no one knows about it.
I bounty hunt in Anarchy systems in the belts around the system star. This means I take no faction hit when I kill a wanted npc. Just means I have to kill warrant scan all the targets to unlock the bounty.
Bounty Hunting at nav points and resource extractions are only going to harm you on the reputation and make you hostile towards some of the major factions in the systems you call home.
