The tornado was coming, but Dontaie Allen kept shooting.
At 7:30 a.m. the tornado warning was issued and teachers and classmates rushed to take shelter in the basement below Pendleton County High School's basketball gym.
Dontaie, a sophomore at the time, was an hour into his morning solo practice. Teachers pleaded with him to evacuate the gym and head downstairs, to abandon one drill for the sake of another.
