Ruth Eckerd Hall hosted a special screening of "Dolphin Tale" before its September 23rd release date, benefiting the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and the Challenged Athletes Foundation.

Based on true events, Dolphin Tale is a family film about "Winter," a young dolphin who loses her tail in a crab trap and Sawyer, the introverted, 11-year-old boy who befriends her. Sawyer meets the rescued dolphin at Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a marine rehabilitation center where she lives.

Sawyer rallies friends and family alike to save Winter by convincing a pioneering doctor to create a unique prosthetic attachment to restore the dolphin's ability to swim.

Winter the dolphin plays herself in the movie.

CLEARWATER, Florida (AP) - A 23-year-old man has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for aiming a shotgun at his young daughter and pulling the trigger.

The sentence handed down Tuesday was part of an agreement an attorney for Justin Gallagher worked out with prosecutors. He pleaded guilty to aggravated child abuse and being a felon in possession of a firearm. The 20-month-old girl lost half her ear but survived the October 2010 shooting.

The St. Petersburg Times reports Gallagher thought the gun was unloaded when he aimed it at his daughter.
