You don't get a fine for firing at anybody. You get an assault charge, which carries a small short term bounty on you, which is why the Feds shot you. When you get an assault charge, you should immediarely run away unless you're in a haz RES. If you got an assalt charge, it was because you shot the wanted guy before your scan showed that he was wanted.

It's common for ships to crash into you and explode. Were you at a nav beacon?

To avoid bounties on yourself while bounty hunting, it's best to do it in a Haz RES. If you get one anyway, don't go back to the station in your system because the Feds will get you there.
 
If you fire on a ship and become want for it, stop firing on that ship immediately. That way the wanted state will go away much quicker than a week. If you kill the ship, I believe you're guaranteed persona non grata in the system for a week.
