Wanted after attacking Wanted ships?

So I'm in one of the RES in Quivira, I see a ship being swarmed by internal security and I do a quick check. Yep, big red WANTED sign, so I open fire.

Boom, immediate 600cr fine for attacking him, and I'm suddenly wanted myself. And yet, when he dies, I get the bounty for him instead of a further fine for killing him.

Three times now this has happened and I've had to scarper and sneak into the station to pay my bounty off. What the hell?

Are you in an Anarchy system? There is a bug that the security go mental if you kill a Wanted ship after doing a KWS.

Never seen or heard about this happening before.

I once attacked a ship which i knew it was wanted before my scan finished. But shooting a scaned wanted ship and getting a fine, that's new.
 
You're sure you only hit the wanted ship? You didn't glance a shot off one of the security dudes?

Yeah, I'm sure, as it flashes up telling me who I'm being fined for attacking, and it's the guy that's supposedly wanted.

Eh, I'll ticket it.
 
I went to a res last night.
I killed a wanted sidewinder and when I went to dock to collect the bounty it wasn't there. I also saw the bounty reward given when he died. I did leave because I got wanted myself but that was after attacking another ship afterwards. I could have sworn I scanned him 1st but maybe not.
I just assumed I had hit a ship before scanning properly.
