How are some people conscious after a gun shot wound to the head, even if it's fatal?

For example Robert Kennedy took a head shot, the bullet was lodged in his brain, while bone fragments spread deep inside is brain. But he managed to stay conscious for about 10 minutes before eventually passing out.
