Oronde McClain was struck by a stray bullet on a Philadelphia street corner when he was 10.
The bullet shattered the back of his skull, splintering it into 36 pieces. McClain's heart stopped, and he was technically dead for two minutes and 17 seconds.
Although a hospital team shocked him back to life, McClain never fully recovered. Doctors removed half his skull, replacing it with a gel plate, but shrapnel remains.
