Replace that soon-to-be-shot mother with your own child, and see how blame free you live for the next few years. The gunman is the mathematician who has included you in his equation. There is no escaping the fact that you affect the outcome.

If pressumably each life is equal then taking either would be equally wrong.
"how bad you feel" shouldn't play a part. If you don't make a choice then the choice and guilt lies in the shooter as He/She could choose you or the mother.
However, if you would say that not choosing would mean by default the mother would be shot, then I would have to pick Her. If they are both equally murder then I would pick someone elses murder and not my own....duh.

Life isn't black and white. How about humor the nutjob by pretending to go along and cracking his skull at the first opportunity?

"A pragmatist."
Contradictory. Your response is not practical.
"If the choice is between me, some innocent mother and a crazed nutjob"
This statement assumes too much.
"If the choice is between me, some innocent mother and a crazed nutjob, guess who just picked the short straw? "
Your response is unlogical.
