His life was spared by less than an inch.

A 10-year-old Brooklyn boy hit by a stray bullet as he lay on a couch watching cartoons was upgraded Thursday to stable condition. The bullet came screaming through the window of Khalil Robinson’s East New York home around 9:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Police said the bullet went through the left side of his neck and exited the other. Then it went through his right shoulder and became lodged in the couch.

“With his little neck, for a bullet to pass through there, it’s a miracle,” said neighbor Leon Fitzgerald Jr., 51. “That’s nothing but God.”

Khalil was watching Blues Clues in the Blake Ave. apartment when a crew of teens began shooting at another group outside on the street. Witnesses saw three people running through nearby Martin Luther King Jr. playground as they opened fire on two other teens, police said.
