Eesh.
Only thing I can suggest? Level up a bit and build up your small arms/sneak skill. Try to attack one of them at extreme range with manual shooting and run. If you can find one, use the Sniper rifle or Scoped Magnum as they have a high level of zoom. Hopefully you can get them to run after you while you're still beyond their firing range.
Alternatively, find a Stealthboy. This makes you VERY hard to see. Combine with a melee weapon (NOT a ripper) and knife them in the back before they can open fire. It's tough, but possible.
Also, so long as they dont kill any of the townsfolk, if you run and come back a few days later, they might not like you, but they wont have 'Shoot on sight' scripted anymore either. Try doing some Good Karma related quests in the meantime.
