Margo will (probably) not move, but come on, like Bobbie could ever take a nice, clean shot with her hand bobbling all around like that! I'm going to put up a reader poll posthaste. Who, or what, will Bobbie shoot? My guess: the staircase, or maybe a wall.In all this mayhem, there is a clear cry coming from the people, and that cry is: where is Taser Lady? And where is Ruby and her bucket of suds? Where are the other members of Margo's impromptu criming-fighting club when one of their own is at risk? I suppose they're "at their own apartment building" or some such, but their extrasensory perception for danger must be pulsing in their temples by now! Ruby is probably just whipping up a fresh batch of hot water and palmolive.

My guess is she'll shoot at Gabriella who shows up asking what all the commotion is about. Martin sees this and dives in front of the bullet. Margo takes this chance to disarm Bobbie (Not that she couldn't before, she just wanted to wait until SOMEONE got shot)
On the way to the hospital Margo will pretend to see how much her father cares for Gabriella and gives her blessing, but really she's just saying that so the EMTs don't grow suspicious of her true nature. It is not yet time for the world to know...
I agree that Martin will take the hit. Then, Bobbie will be taken into custody, and Dr. Bryant will be notified. He'll call the Professor.
Thus, Margo will get wise to the Prof and Bobbie's liaison, and use her powers of persuasion to command Taser Lady and Ruby o' the Suds to double-team on the poor Prof. Meanwhile, Martin will pull through just fine from a non-life-threatening flesh wound.
In fact, I think Martin has more hope of emerging relatively unscathed than Prof. Clueless does.
I just can't see a way to get Taser Lady and Ruby involved with Bobbie. O how I wish I could.
Well... There IS a long shot...
You see, after the confrontation here is done Bobbie might slip away before the cops show up. The only two places she has to go are her apartment or Aristotle's. I expect her to try to hide out there, but he won't let her. Then she threatens him with the gun and he lets her in ("So much for moral's").
Soon however, Ruby visit's to drop off a pie or something, finds the scene and gets the bucket. Alternatively, Bobbie shoots the gun to scare the prof. and Taser lady hears this.
Always hope.
Someone will tell Dr. Dummy where Bobbie has gone. He'll follow her, they'll fight for the gun, a shot will ring out...and there's your Saturday cliffhanger.
Okay, here's my scenario: Martin comes down the stairs, Bobbie takes a shot and hits.. the wall. Martin ducks and looks confused. Margo lunges for Bobbie. Bobbie has a chance to shoot at Margo point blank and she shoots.. the ceiling. Then she's restrained and everyone learns a lesson, except the Professor, who's way too embarrassed to hang out with this crowd anymore. Then the next six months we focus on the Professor's awkward attempts to return to the fold.
Actually, all that non-action sounds more like Mary Worth than Apartment 3-G. At least people occasionally die in this strip.
I keep feeling like the next strip they are going to cut back to Tommie playing at the piano bar. Probably right after there is a scene with a gunshot going off. Also, I am envisioning Cher's "Bang Bang" playing in the background of the hallway...
Sugar Packet, people die in Mary Worth too. Let's not forget Aldo. NEVER FORGET.
