Why did the werewolves start shooting at the vampires in public?
In Underworld (2003), at the start of the movie, the vampires followed the lycans (a specific type of werewolf) into the train station.
When the lycans spotted the vampires, they started shooting at them right in front of the public with foreign weapons and a strange killing effect on the shot victims.
Why did the lycans start shooting supernatural weapons right in front of the public when they could have just run off and avoided suspicions from the public?

Best Answer
Firstly, because they can (have the ability to do so). Before that, the Lycans has always been on the run, but now they have a weapon that can kill vampires (UV bullets), now they stand a chance and can fight back when it's necessary which makes using guns a viable and a logical option to achieve their goals, not a futile or a desperate act as it was before.
Worth noting that using guns won't reveal that they're werewolfs, so there wasn't a big risk in this regard.
Secondly and the main reason is they were following an important target, Michael Corvin, they had to get him at any cost. Later we'll discover why exactly, but you can see how Lucian was angry that the Lycans he send didn't get him, and then he decided to go get him himself.
Also, the Lycans strange behavior (shooting vampires in public) made Selene suspictious, which led her to discover they were following Michael. It was a minor plot point.
