PHILADELPHIA - A Philadelphia teenager has made a miraculous recovery after he was hit in the head by a stray bullet that came within ‘centimeters’ of striking his brain stem.

Last October, 16-year-old Ivan was near Jean’s Pizzeria and Grill at Rowland and Ryan avenues with some friends after dismissal from Abraham Lincoln High School.According to the Philadelphia Police Department, a fight broke out and 21-year-old Aaron Scott opened fire.

One of the bullets struck and killed 66-year-old Jeffery Carter who happened to be driving through the intersection. Ivan was struck in the head by the indiscriminate gunfire as he was trying to run away.

The bullet came close to claiming Ivan's young life."It went in right here behind his ear, from the blast of it, it blew his ear open," Ivan’s mom Natali said. "It was skin of the teeth close to the brain stem, it just missed him not being able to walk and just normal functionality."Two plainclothes officers near the shooting quickly arrested Scott.
