In all honestly, I'd get out of that area. I'm 13, I'd get shot, and die.
The police probably wouldn't make it.
And, oh yea, forgot to mention the GUY HAS A GUN.
I'm a coward, not a hero, sorry.
On this day of days, most epic and prideful, you were born 15 whole American years ago!
Through the odds and by doing the impossible, you beat out hundreds of thousands of siblings in the great sperm race for the coveted egg.
Probably via hax.
Regardless! You won!
So remember, whenever someone picks on you or calls you weak or small.
Just remind them that you beat out a few hundred thousand other wimps.
And the grand prize was not dying!
Oh, God, what's the right answer! THINK!!!!! THINK!!!!!!!!
I TRANSFORM INTO SUPERFISH AND WHUP THEY' BACKSIDE!!!
I, um, scream "You Ugly Moron" then use defensife tactics mixed with adrenalin and run away screaming like I do in video games.

Because Friendship is MAGIC!
Run as fast as I can towards the robber and tackle him. Toss his gun to the side and serve up some STREET JUSTICE!
I'd walk away. Since I cannot call the police, and by the time the police get there it would be absolutely pointless for preventative measures. After getting a safe distance I would call an Ambulance, explain the situation calmly and tell them to bring the police to take a statement.
When the robber has escaped I would then see if there is any basic first aid I could perform. At least to keep her conscious.
If you run, he will cap you.
If you leave the old lady alone, she will take the beating and die.
If you try to stop the robber, most likely, you will die.
Getting an ambulance and the police at the scene of the incident will take some time. It will take even more time to investigate and get answers. In addition, we don't know if there are other people nearby on that street, seeing it happen as well.

Since my cell phone is usually on me, I would call the police (911 isn't hard to dial), and make sure that I get a good description of the robber. Calling 911 would get both police and an ambulance to the scene, since you have to give a reason why you are calling. You don't have to do much to save a life.
You mean the ghetto?We don't rob old ladies, since we are often related to them.
I would hold the old lady in my arms and hold her tight into the night take her to a hotel....and play mahjong.
^you are very odd indeed sir, I think that is awesome

I would hope to put it all on the line to save that old woman, but you can never be sure intil you are actually put in that situation.
According to the OP, the Robber hasn't made any indication he has seen you. Feel free to run (quietly).
The motivation of a purse snatcher is to gain money quickly. Beating people to death is unwise, and unless the snatcher is on powerful stimulants or otherwise in an altered state (speculation: OP has said nothing about it), he's likely to quit beating her after she goes unconscious. She may or may not suffer wounds that would killer her (either quickly or if left unattended) in the process.If you leave the old lady alone, she will take the beating and die.
Depends on where the gun is. If it's in his hand or in a hip or chest holster, you have little chance of success. If it's in his waistband or in a damn ankle holster or something similarly stupid, feel free to stealth bum rush him if you think you can.If you try to stop the robber, most likely, you will die.
I'm assuming from the OP's description that this event would take place on a deserted street or alley, possibly at night. Otherwise, the intended moral dilemma becomes somewhat moot.Getting an ambulance and the police at the scene of the incident will take some time. It will take even more time to investigate and get answers. In addition, we don't know if there are other people nearby on that street, seeing it happen as well.
Anyway, unless I was extremely close to the mugging, and the robber was clearly incompetent, I would do as SGI said.
Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

911 doesn't work on a cellphone, at least not in my area, I would have to call some long number, or else I get redirected to some place in the middle of the country.
Like I don't see something like this everyday in the area I live in. I hear gunshots every few nights, seeing this would freak me out, and I would probably get out of the immediate area, but I'm somewhat used to this kinda stuff, so I would probably only go around a corner or something.

I never play to win. But I do play not to lose.
Wave! HI THAR
The ambulance takes quite a while to get there.
Person A is presumed shot.
Person B{you} is standing there trying to get first aid in a quite positively grave situation, assuming the ambulance had to be called.
Ambulance is let's say 1-10 miles away from the alley way.{Most likely in an alley, who the heck does a murder in front of everyone}
By the time Grandma Gretchen is put in the stretcher she is dead.
I would catch a picture of the robber on my cell and then send the pic to the police/call 911. If the old lady ended up geting killed, at least the robber could be caught.
Put my mad kick-boxing skills to use and whup his/her (never specified gender) razz-azz.
Of course, I'd have to actually take the kick-boxing class first to put my mad skills to use, but hey, what can I say? It's not like I'll be in this situation any time soon. I still have a few weeks. American Family Fitness, here I come!
i personally would fricking run before he notices me and then phone the police
I would bounce his bullets back at him with my pelvic thrusts and rescue little old lady, because I've always wanted to try it once.

omg, your all hero mood arent you?
ASnd you'll die most liely
Since I'm a martial artist (8 years and counting!), I'd feel bad for the robber.
XD
When you're an assassin, you'll kill one man...
When your a conqueror, you'll kill millions...
But when your a god...
You'll kill every single thing...
I'd wonder why he's beating the old lady senseless when it's a deserted street and he has a gun. No purse snatcher is seriously gonna beat on the victim for fun when they already have the damn purse.
Visit the Toy Dungeon Studios Store and buy a shirt or zipper pull, damnit!
It depends on two variables, if he can see me, and am I drunk.
If I was in his blind spot, and drunk, then I would fancy my chances of not being killed and rush him. I can put a fair amount of force into him, knocking him down atleast. However, if he could see me from the start, it wouldn't be too smart to rush, and if I wasn't drunk, then I would certainly worry alot about the 'what ifs' so thos etwo stipulations need to be really set in me to consider doing it
Big thanks to Jagan Eye for making the sig, much appriciated ^.^
Well knowing me I'd have some big heavy book. so I'd run behind me and SMACK over the head =D Big books hurt you know. If he goes down then I'll kick him then get the old lady and get outta there =] if he dont get down...well I am screwed haha.

There are few things need to be explained here,but since you haven't stated any of possibilities,I'd assume it's just a random robber and a random old lady...
Now,I don't want to sound like super hero or anything,but I would help the old lady,unless she did something bad to me in distant past...
It's because I don't really like people who are stealing from helpless old ladies...Get a job,don't steal...
And besides,I've been trained for such things,you'd be surprised how easy it is to attack a person psychologically,with just few words,and it his state of confusion that lasts for few seconds,it's easy to knock him down...
And in case that he won't get confused about words some random person threw at him,it's always good to run towards him,while changing your position by running straight towards him,but at the same time going from left-to right,because he'll get confused and shoot randomly (I'm assuming he's not a martial artist),and giving him simple unblockable direct attack with both hands (again,I'm assuming he's not martial artist,hence unblockable) - right hand with fist ==> straight into his chin,left hand with open palm ==> open palm hit straight into down part of abdomen (into one of vital points,since vital points strike can cause unconsciousness, paralyze parts of the body, disrupt organ function and cause death,depending on which one you attacked)
After that,if he still stays consciousness,or somehow block both attacks,simple aikido would just do the trick...
