** It looks very much like they'd been in extreme denial up until the point that David and Jack got into town. The woman at the bar even has second thoughts as soon as they leave and is trying to urge the others to go with her to warn them. It's possible they were okay with staying silent when it was only them at risk - as they knew the dangers and the precautions needed to stay safe. But when it came to two innocent young guys, that was the last straw. Morbidly, they only had a good shot at it because it was distracted going after David and Jack.
Added DiffLines:
** It could be either or. We ultimately know very little about whether a werewolf can ever keep their head while transformed. But it does seem to be more that Alex was able to reach him for a moment, but the wolf took over.
Added DiffLines:
** Alex's attempts at calming David do also give them a chance to set up the shots. So by the time he moves again, they're aimed and ready to fire.
Added DiffLines:
** Alex is in disbelief at first until they hear about the six murders that happened the previous night - that had to have been done by a wild animal that couldn't have just wandered into the city out of nowhere. On the same night, David also disappeared for hours, and can't remember anything about where he was or what he did. Add that to the already very unusual evidence surrounding the case, vouched for by Dr Hirsch, who she'd know and trust well enough to know he wouldn't make such assumptions lightly. So Alex would have reason to believe that David could have been telling the truth, and if he was, then maybe she could reach him and save him.
Added DiffLines:
** Yep, they can choose to appear. The man David killed on the underground is said to have insisted on seeing him personally, despite Jack not wanting him to. It's only David's victims that appear to him, possibly because the ones who don't have a personal connection to him don't see the point - or else it's been so long in limbo that they don't care as much about moving on.
Added DiffLines:
** Alex was working a night shift, so maybe she came home extremely tired and thought it was just unusual. Maybe she'd assumed that David chose to go out by himself and went to bed assuming she'd see him in the morning. She probably did find it suspicious but didn't put it all together until later.
Added DiffLines:
** Well that's why they're right there to shoot the werewolf when it attacks. They realise they can't just barricade themselves inside and leave two innocent young boys to the mercy of it - so they go back out to warn David and Jack and end up finding the wolf already with them.

Added DiffLines:
** The locals also don't tell the boys to stay there, so "don't leave the road" may have just been a token warning to make themselves feel better about preventing an attack. That way if they do get attacked, they can absolve themselves of blame with "we said stay on the road, it's their own fault".
Added DiffLines:
** He was most definitely a werewolf. DyingAsYourself is a big part of werewolf mythology.
Added DiffLines:
** Maybe they don't actually know who the werewolf is, and worry that if they went after it and failed, whoever it was would be able to return the favour considerably once they were back in human form.
** And just because killing it is doable, it's not like they'd actually ''want'' to. A werewolf has to be hunted at night, and in a rural location like that, it's considerably darker than a city. It's also extremely easy to get lost on the moors at night, especially in the early 80s without GPS, smartphones etc. Going after the werewolf also not only risks certain death (it's an unpredictable wild animal) but you getting bitten and becoming one yourself. Their solution to keeping safely locked away every full moon may have seemed like an easier option - possibly with the hope that the werewolf might move on to another location.
*** And perhaps in the past they did try to hunt it, but it just killed a bunch of them or infected them.

** Possibly the original werewolf was one of their neighbors, and was well-liked enough (when human-shaped) that they were reluctant to execute the man for something that wasn't his fault. The locals knew when to lock themselves away for safety, so perhaps the occasional dismembered sheep was deemed a reasonable cost for not having to murder a friend.

** Maybe the werewolf instinctively avoids the road because of cars. Even if it’s not run over, a car could easily escape and draw attention to the werewolf’s existence. Plus, you have to figure that an animalistic monster is more likely to stick to the wilderness as opposed to more urban areas.

** It is possible they can choose to appear, seeing as David doesn't see them all the time, and the longer dead ones don't bother anymore, seeing as they have probably tried to plead the werewolves to kill themselves for a very long time, but got fed up of them never listening, at most these days they just give pointers to the first new dead guy and tell them to deal with it, hence how Jack suddenly became MrExposition after only being dead for a few weeks.
