Really scary stuff. My Jilly had a seizure in my arms immediately after she was attacked by a big dog as we were trying to get away and home to the car. I just knew she was dying from the sounds she was making - kind of a death rasping and not breathing and her head was arched way back, her body stiff but shaking all over. It abated after a bit & she resumed breathing, became limp and regained herself before I got her to the vet. Many years ago I once had a poodle that would go into a kind of rigor, still and straighten her body out, put her chin up and become unresponsive for about 3 minutes about once a month or less frequently than that but the vet felt she never needed medication as it was so brief and never got worse. She eventually stopped having it and we never knew what caused it.

Has he had any recent trauma, a bump on the head, acted funny or had accept to any poison in or outdoors? Low blood sugar or stress from fear, hard exercise, any intense experience? I understand a head bump can cause a seizure. Maybe he jumped off something, missed his footing and fell, knocked his head into something. Hoping it's just a one-time thing and he goes ahead and does fine after this. But I'd check the yard and all around to be sure nobody tossed something awful into the yard or something that he got into. There could be just the tiniest bit of poisoned meat or something in the shrubs or grass or along the walkway of an apartment. I pray all is going to be okay. Poor Junebug.
