There are basically three ways that someone will die from a gunshot wound.
The first being Hydraulic Decompression (Bleeding to Death). When your body loses blood, it loses it's ability to transport oxygen to your vital organs, especially your heart.
Shock and Pain is another way to die. When your body goes into shock, it shuts down everything but you need to survive. Unfortunately increased heart rate is not a good thing when you have an open wound.
The third way to die is destruction of the Central Nervous System. When you get shot in the head, specifically the medulla oblongata, your brain can no long send signals to the rest of your body. The brain controls every system in your body, once that signal is separated, you die instantly.
