Good samaritan gets me wanted level

This has happened to me 3 times now, the first 2 times i was thinking.. humm maybe a stray bullet did it.

So this is what happened the third time, i travelled to a nav beacon and i see this large type 7 which is being attacked by 2 other ships, they are all AI ships, so i scan the all the ships and the 2 attacking have wanted levels.. i decide to help the type 7 and jump in, i line up with 1 of the attackers and let off a few rounds, as soon as the first round hits i get me message saying something like "bounty xxxx for attacking xxxx" which turns out to be the type 7, cut a long story short i had to run after the authorities show up and i have to jump and later pay a fine.

Is this the way it's supposed to be?? i know for sure that i didn't fire on the typr 7, as i said similar situations have gone the same way.

Are you using beam lasers or ammo eating guns? If you're moving the guns will trail behind the movement making it miss the target, this could of caused the hit on the Type-7. Lasers don't trail but can go beyond a target.

There must have been a stray shot that hit the type 7. Was the type 7 out in front of your target?

I'm using multi-cannon, i'm very sure i didn't hit the other ship... as it was my third time for this to happen i made sure i was point blank on the wanted ship and had no visiblity of the type 7

I had something strange happen to me today and not sure if you have a point defence, used for shooting missiles and torpedo's?

I was switched to my my kill warrant scanner, so other hard points were out but not engaged in this fire group. I had just scanned a wanted viper who was attacking a Type 6, I flew past them both and could here my point defence firing (sounds like a water pistol...), then the Type 6 a few seconds later was destroyed. Then I get a 4K bounty and become wanted, the Type 6 was on it's last legs clearly and can only assume someone fired a missile and my point defence fired and a stray bullet hit the Type 6, I certainly didn't destroy it though.

Sounds like you could be on to something... i do have a point defence, i'll do a few more tests.
