A 7-year-old Wisconsin girl just got her dream to star in her own music video, and the result is adorable.

Ashlin Sanders made her wish with Make-A-Wish Wisconsin to sing "Best Time Ever," an original song by Ashlin's favorite musical group "Kidz Bop."

"It means the world to us just to see her smile and as happy this has made her," mom Kristi Hays told "Good Morning America." "Ashlin loves YouTube so about two years ago she found out who [Kidz Bop] was and she is obsessed."

When she was 3 years old, Ashlin picked up an E. coli infection, which turned into hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and caused kidney damage. She was diagnosed with end stage renal disease, but received a kidney transplant in June, and is doing well today.

Ashlin's nurse coordinator at the hospital informed her parents that she'd be eligible to make a wish with the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hays applied and within a few weeks, the Wisconsin chapter said it'd be happy to grant Ashlin's wish to make a music video.

In the footage, Ashlin is all smiles as she jumps around with friends and young family members who joined her in the production. The video was recorded in Ashlin's elementary school library.

Part 2 of Ashlin's wish was for her music video to go viral.

The fun, bright footage was viewed thousands of times on YouTube and social media.

"The entire community across Wisconsin has been a part of making Ashlin's wish come true and the outreach has expanded to countries around the world," said Forrest Doolen, director of marketing and communications at Make-A-Wish Wisconsin. "To date there have been nearly 500,000 views of Ashlin's music video. We are so grateful that the community has rallied to grant this life-changing wish, and in turn, shown Ashlin that anything is possible."

Hayes said the two-day experience was a dream come true for her daughter and the other kids.

"They all had an amazing time -- you could see the joy on all their faces," Hays added. "We live in a small town and when we go out places random people will walk up to [Ashlin] and say, 'I saw your music video.'"

Before her wish was granted, Ashlin was happy to meet the actual Kidz Bop singers, her mom said.

Jaylon Ferguson missed the first round draft pick parties, as he was helping clear the destruction left by tornadoes in Louisiana. The town was without power and it was unknown whether he could be contacted by his managers if he was picked. Despite this, he was projected for the second round anyway.

Jaylon Ferguson is hours away from being a millionaire. He just may not know about it when it happens.

Add NFL as an interest to stay up to date on the latest NFL news, video, and analysis from ABC News.

The defensive lineman from Louisiana Tech is projected as a second-round pick in 2019's NFL Draft, set to get underway Friday. He missed day one: He was picking up the pieces from a tornado.

A line of severe storms rolled through Louisiana late Wednesday into Thursday and sparked an EF3 tornado -- with winds up to 140 mph -- in Ruston, Louisiana, the home of Louisiana Tech University. It devastated the community and killed two people.

Ferguson's home survived, but he hit the streets of his town to help others -- most without power.

"It's just a rough time. The power is still out for a lot of people right now," Ferguson told ABC News on Thursday night. "A couple people lost their lives, a lot of people lost their property in all of this.

"Luckily nobody [I know] was seriously injured, but I know some people lost their property, and some people are still missing right now," he added. "So, we been out all day helping people."

Getting in touch with Ferguson wasn't easy. Cellphone service was down for the entire town.

ESPN's Adam Schefter spoke to Ferguson's agent, who said he wasn't sure his client would even be able to be contacted by prospective teams to tell him he'd been picked.

The Associated Press

"Instead of having a draft party and celebrating a lifelong dream, he's out helping other people," Ferguson's agent, Safarrah Lawson, said Thursday. "It speaks to this young man's character."

The Louisiana Tech campus was seriously damaged in the storms, including the baseball, softball and soccer fields. Ferguson is originally from Zachary, Louisiana, just north of Baton Rouge, but he's lived in Ruston since coming in 2014.

"Ruston has been my home the last five years," he told ABC News. "They show me love and a lot of the fans that come to the football games are the same people out in the community that's having trouble right now. Being a football player and being an alumni of Louisiana Tech University, it's only right for me to come back and help. I'm at home right here. It's nothing to give out help, pick up some branches, go buy a pack of water, or a couple of pizzas. It's nothing to do that for people who really need it."

The 6-foot-5, 270-pound player is no shrinking violet on the field. He was well aware he set a school record with 45 career sacks.

"Yeah, I'm the 'Sack Daddy,'" he said. "Just all the sacks I got, over and over and my teammates, one day, they were just joking around, like, 'Oh you're the sack daddy now, you're the sack daddy,' and it just stuck with me."

Tyler Kaufman/AP

He'll be waiting to see when he goes off the board Friday night.

"To have a chance to play in the NFL, that'd mean everything," Ferguson said. "It's literally like a lifelong dream for me."

He added, "I just want to play for the people of Ruston."

A four-year-old girl kept her baby brother alive for three days after the murder-suicide of her parents. The family lived in Los Angeles. The children were found safe in their home with the parents bodies upstairs, the little girl is being called a hero.

Los Angeles police are praising a little girl for keeping her baby brother alive after the apparent murder-suicide of their parents.

Officers found the two young children unharmed inside their home in the Chatsworth neighborhood of Los Angeles on the afternoon of April 14. The bodies of their parents were discovered in the upstairs bedroom, according to the Los Angeles Police Department.

Detectives believe the 46-year-old man shot his 38-year-old wife while she lay in bed then turned the gun on himself on April 11, with their two small children also inside the home. Police entered the residence three days later in response to a radio call about an " assault with a deadly weapon shots fired."

It was unclear who made the initial 911 call.

"Our little angel was able to keep herself and her brother alive," Los Angeles Police Capt. Maureen Ryan said at an emotional press conference Tuesday. "The baby is a miracle baby and the little girl is a hero. She's an absolute hero."

The two children were taken to a local hospital for observation. They are now in the care of the Department of Children and Family Services of Los Angeles County and both are said to be doing well.

Officials did not identify the parents or the children since the investigation is active.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Kliff Kingsbury got his guy.

The Arizona Cardinals drafted Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray with the first overall pick on Thursday, uniting Murray with Kingsbury, who unsuccessfully recruited the reigning Heisman Trophy winner to Texas Tech while he was offensive coordinator there.

"Cannot wait," Murray said. "Me and him have had a relationship since I was like 15 years old. It's something we've talked about for a long time. It's a long time coming. God works in mysterious ways. For me to be playing for him now, it's a surreal feeling."

Kingsbury said he was "obviously excited" to finally land Murray, whom he first started recruiting as a sophomore in high school.

The Cardinals' next order of business is to decide what to do with Josh Rosen, their first-round pick and starting quarterback in 2018. They did not trade him before drafting Murray, adding fuel to the speculation that they could keep both on the roster through OTAs, minicamp and, potentially, training camp.

General manager Steve Keim received trade calls for Rosen but said none was "meaningful enough" for Arizona to consider parting ways with Rosen because of the depth he provides at quarterback.

Keim also said he's not concerned that the Cardinals' leverage to trade Rosen was diminished after teams such as the New York Giants and Washington Redskins, who both were reportedly interested in trading for Rosen, drafted quarterbacks. Another team reportedly in the market for a quarterback, the Miami Dolphins, are "investigating all avenues," when it comes to Rosen, Dolphins GM Chris Grier said Thursday night.

"Bottom line is, Josh is a really good football player," Keim said. "We're not going to get in the business of just letting good football players walk out of here. I think the one thing we all have to keep in mind, and we've certainly done our research, over the past three years 19 starting quarterbacks have missed at least 3 games. OK? Out of those 19 starters, 14 of those teams missed the playoffs, which to me is a direct correlation of not having backups, not having good players in terms of depth. And then when you really look at it as well, the guys who have been injured missed an average of 4.6 games due to injury.

"I have a personal stake in it from the fact that I remember in 2014 limping into the playoffs with our third-string quarterback. You can't have enough good depth. We've talked about that over and over in here. Needs constantly change. Those needs could change at that position. But we know that we got a very good player in Josh Rosen here."

However, it's Murray who is considered the Cardinals' starter of the future, even though Kingsbury said he wouldn't discuss who would be the first-team quarterback.

"We're working through that," Kingsbury said.

Murray has known Kingsbury since his sophomore year at Allen High School in Texas, when Kingsbury began recruiting him to Texas A&M. Kingsbury took the head-coaching job at Texas Tech the next year and continued to recruit Murray, but to no avail. However, their relationship remained strong.

"He's always been very fond of me, and I respect that," Murray said of Kingsbury at the NFL scouting combine in February. "I've always never taken that for granted. He's always someone I can go to if I ever need anything. Like I said, it'd be fun. It'd be a great deal if I was picked No. 1."

Thursday's move to draft Murray was expected for months.

He was first linked to Arizona shortly after the Cardinals hired Kingsbury on Jan. 8. A video resurfaced from October of Kingsbury, when he was still head coach at Texas Tech, saying if he had the first overall pick, he'd take Murray. The comment was made in the lead-up to Texas Tech's game against Oklahoma. By happenstance, Kingsbury, who was fired by Texas Tech after six seasons in November, found himself with the first overall pick.

"I didn't know what to think, honestly," Murray said. "I don't really remember when, but I was a little up in the air on what I was doing. So it all kind of worked out. Like I said, God works in mysterious ways, and me choosing to play football and Coach Kingsbury getting the job with Arizona, us having that relationship for years now, it's crazy to think that now he is coaching me."

Murray was a first-round pick of the Oakland Athletics in 2018, but after deciding to play football instead of baseball, he signed with Kingsbury's agent, Erik Burkhardt of Select Sports.

However, talk of Murray to the Cardinals heated up at the combine.

Murray met with the Cardinals there and then had a top 30 visit to Arizona on April 10.

Last season, while leading the Sooners to the College Football Playoff semifinals, Murray accounted for 5,362 yards from scrimmage. He completed 69 percent of his passes for 4,361 yards and 42 touchdowns against seven interceptions. He also ran for 1,001 yards and 12 touchdowns.

"I've been doing this over 20 years," Keim said. "I've seen guys who have thrown it like him. I've seen guys who can run it like him but I can tell you I haven't seen anybody that can do the combination that he brings to the table. The ability to throw the football with timing, accuracy and touch, and to be able to run the football, extend players and create like he does out of the pocket, we're extremely excited about Kyler. He's a fantastic player. He's dynamic.

"Again, in the end, our goal was to take a player that would improve this organization and give us the biggest chance to succeed moving forward, and that was Kyler Murray."

Keim said the decision to pick Murray was "very easy," especially after watching tape of Murray. At first, Keim said, he was "reluctant" to study Murray and avoid falling in love with him. But Keim failed at that. The more tape of Murray he studied, the more he liked - and loved - him, which showed Keim that Murray was the "right guy" for Arizona.

Murray is the 22nd Heisman Trophy winner to go first overall, and second in as many seasons after fellow Sooners QB Baker Mayfield went to Cleveland in 2018.

The 5-foot-10 Murray will run Kingsbury's version of the Air Raid, a scheme he gained experience operating at Oklahoma.

"He was the funnest guy I watched on tape," Keim said. "If I wrote 'wow' 100 times, that probably wasn't enough. It was amazing the things he did on tape.

"In this day and age, you have to be able to extend with your feet and make plays out of the pocket, and I certainly have got tired of facing a guy that has similar skills over and over, and unfortunately, usually on the losing end of it," he said, referring to Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson. "Now we have guy that can be a weapon with his feet, his arm. And he isn't just a runner. The guy is a player that looks to throw first. He's got tremendous accuracy. You talk about the height being a detriment. It really isn't when you watch the tape. If you do your homework, there are 6-foot-5 quarterbacks in this draft who had 12 balls batted down. He had 5 balls batted down."

At the combine, Murray said he'd be "very comfortable" running Kingsbury's offense because of their history and relationship. Murray also said the idea of him paired with Kingsbury "would be nice."

Throughout the last three months, however, the Cardinals have vocalized their support of Rosen as their quarterback. In early February, Kingsbury said Rosen was "our guy." At the combine, general manager Steve Keim said Rosen was the Cardinals quarterback "right now, for sure." And at the owners meetings in late March, Kingsbury said Rosen "no question" fits his Air Raid offense, and added that there are a lot of "misconceptions" regarding Rosen and the Cardinals.

However, Thursday's move to draft Murray puts all of that into question.

Kingsbury spoke with Rosen over the phone before drafting Murray in the first round Thursday. After initially declining to discuss the content and nature of the call, Kingsbury said the conversation was "good."

"It is what it is," Kingsbury said. "Tough business, and he understands that. But his professionalism has been outstanding throughout the entire thing, and today was no different. He worked as the starter all week and really executed the offense well and led and did all the things you want. I don't expect that to be any different when he comes back."

The U.S. led coalition air strikes in Raqqa Syria are said to have killed about 1,600 civilians within the city. The airstrikes target areas of ISIS but civilians are unintentionally killed.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Amnesty International and Airwars claim that their research shows that 1,600 civilians were killed by the four-month airstrike campaign and artillery strikes carried out by the U.S.-led coalition against the former Islamic State-held city of Raqqa, Syria. That figure dwarfs the U.S. military's own estimates that 180 civilians were unintentionally killed by airstrikes carried out by the coalition.

The two groups published their findings Thursday on a website titled "Rhetoric versus Reality." They say the report is the result of 18 months of research of open-source materials, social media postings and satellite imagery, followed by two months of ground investigations in Raqqa.

Retaken from ISIS in October 2017 by U.S.-backed Syrian forces, the city in central Syria had become the defacto capital of the terror group's self-declared Caliphate. Between June and October 2017 coalition aircraft carried out an intense bombing campaign against ISIS targets in the city to help the Kurdish fighters capture the city.

"Many of the air bombardments were inaccurate and tens of thousands of artillery strikes were indiscriminate, so it is no surprise they killed and injured many hundreds of civilians," said Donatella Rovera, senior crisis response adviser at Amnesty International.

"First and foremost, any unintentional loss of life during the defeat of Daesh is tragic," said Colonel Scott Rawlinson, a spokesman for the Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led coalition fighting ISIS, which also known as Daesh.

"However it must be balanced against the risk of enabling Daesh to continue terrorist activities, causing pain and suffering to anyone they choose," Rawlinson added.

Overall, the coalition has determined that 318 civilians were killed in Raqqa between October 2014 and October 2017, after investigating 69 credible allegations. Additional allegations are still being investigated.

"The coalition and the U.S. have provided extensive information to Amnesty International on our targeting process including multiple background briefings on targeting with regard to the mitigation of civilian casualties and extensive written responses to requests for information," said Lt. Colonel Earl Brown, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command.

"Additionally, the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Policy briefed Amnesty International, Airwars, and other NGOs on our constant efforts to improve" he added.

Rawlinson said Amnesty International "provided us with 86 new allegations, 43 of which had already been assessed as credible and previously reported or were deemed not credible because the allegation did not corroborate with our strike records."

"We requested that Amnesty International provide us with additional information on the remaining 43 allegations if they have it so that we would be able to determine whether we could conduct an investigation," said Rawlinson. "The Coalition takes all reasonable measures to minimize civilian casualties."

The coalition has extensive procedures in place to ensure that its airstrikes do not result in civilian casualties and also investigates any credible allegations of civilian casualties.

So far those investigations have determined that at least 1,291 civilians have been unintentionally killed in the 34,464 airstrikes against ISIS targets that have been carried out from August 2014 to March 2019.

A rare Bible, stolen in the 1990s from the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh as part of an extensive years-long heist with an estimated $8 million worth of items, has returned home, according to the FBI.

The 1615 Breeches Edition Bible was traced to the American Pilgrim Museum in Leiden, Netherlands, which had purchased it for $1,200. A former archivist at the Pittsburg library and a rare book dealer are accused of stealing it along with over 300 rare books, maps, plate books, atlases, and more that were discovered missing last year.

The 17th century Bible is "more than a piece of evidence," Jones said Thursday. "From a dollar-figure sense, it is not priceless. From a history perspective, it is priceless."

Jones explained the first edition of the Geneva Bible was published in 1560. This particular edition, published in London four years after the first King James version, is similar to a Bible known to have been brought over by the Pilgrims in 1620.

Prosecutors say 18 of the stolen books have been recovered thus far, including one copy of Isaac Newton's "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica," a watershed of science valued at $900,000, and John Adams' "A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America," valued at $20,000.

The FBI hopes news of the recovery of this Bible will prompt others to look at their collections for any possible items stolen from the Pittsburgh library, including "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" the magnum opus by philosopher Adam Smith, valued at $180,000.

"Some probably are in private collections," Jones said, adding, about the Bible: "I am happy to say it has finally made its way back to its rightful owner here in Pittsburgh."

A semi truck driver is facing charges after a crash on an interstate involving 28 vehicles, 4 semis and 24 cars, in Colorado. 6 people were taken to the hospital, they have not released how many people died. Officials don't think this was intentional.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Multiple people died and at least 10 others were injured in a fiery crash on a Colorado highway that involved at least 15 cars and semi trucks.

Officials did not specify the number of people killed, but said there were "multiple fatalities" in the Thursday crash and subsequent fire on Interstate 70 in Lakewood, Colorado, about 8 miles west of Denver. One firefighter was among the people taken to a local hospital when debris, possibly a tire, exploded.

The accident occurred at around 4:30 p.m. when a semitrailer slammed into several stopped cars at a high rate of speed during a traffic jam, police said. The driver of that semi survived.

"I-70 eastbound traffic was at a standstill or close to a standstill because of a crash way up ahead. ... The semi was eastbound and ended up colliding with the stopped cars," Lakewood Police Department agent Ty Countryman said Thursday night. "We're almost four or five hours into this and our crash investigation has really yet to begin -- given the magnitude of the size of this crash."

KMGH

Authorities avoided giving firm numbers at a press conference on Thursday evening because rescue workers were still working to put out hot spots on the scene.

"The back of my truck lifted up and shoved me forward, and I was hitting other cars," Brian Dickey, who was caught up in the accident, told Denver ABC affiliate KMGH. "When I came to a stop I look in my rearview mirror and all I saw was a bunch of flames. And I jumped out of the vehicle as fast as I could. There was so much fire at the time that I couldn't even really approach any of the other vehicles to see if there was any other survivors or what."

He said the accident could end up being one of the worst in the city's history.

"This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we've had here in Lakewood," Countryman said.

Authorities said at least 12 cars and three tractor trailers were involved, but Countryman said those figures could change by Friday morning as investigators start "pulling things apart."

KMGH

"It's very hard to tell, given the fire that happened when the crash took place," Countryman said. "It is true carnage there as far as the debris, what's left of cars and trucks, along with the cargoes that were in the semis and things like that."

Countryman said one semi was carrying wood, another was carrying gravel and the third may have been hauling mattresses. The truck carrying wood appears to be the "one that drove into it all," he said.

Investigators say they are looking at social video from the scene that captured footage of a semi speeding past stopped cars just seconds before the collision. The highway was closed in both directions after the accident and drivers were urged to avoid the area.

No charges had been filed against any of the drivers as of late Thursday evening.

ABC New's Clayton Sandell, Becky Perlow and Marilyn Heck contributed to this report.

There was so much fire at the time that I couldn't even really approach any of the other vehicles to see if there was any other survivors or what."

He said the accident could end up being one of the worst in the city's history.

"This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we've had here in Lakewood," Countryman said.

Authorities said at least 12 cars and three tractor trailers were involved, but Countryman said those figures could change by Friday morning as investigators start "pulling things apart."

"It's very hard to tell, given the fire that happened when the crash took place," Countryman said. "It is true carnage there as far as the debris, what's left of cars and trucks, along with the cargoes that were in the semis and things like that."

Countryman said one semi was carrying wood, another was carrying gravel and the third may have been hauling mattresses. The truck carrying wood appears to be the "one that drove into it all," he said.

Investigators say they are looking at social video from the scene that captured footage of a semi speeding past stopped cars just seconds before the collision. The highway was closed in both directions after the accident and drivers were urged to avoid the area.

No charges had been filed against any of the drivers as of late Thursday evening.

Isaiah Joel Peoples, 34, was charged this week with eight counts of attempted murder stemming from the horrific crash Tuesday night in the San Jose suburb of Sunnyvale.

The man arrested on suspicion of deliberately running down eight people, including two children, with his car in Northern California is a former Army Reserve sharpshooter who came home from a tour of duty in Iraq suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, his mother told ABC News.

Isaiah Joel Peoples, 34, was charged this week with eight counts of attempted murder stemming from the horrific crash Tuesday night in the San Jose suburb of Sunnyvale.

A felony complaint filed in Santa Clara County, California, Superior Court on Thursday charged that Peoples "willfully, deliberately, and with premeditation" attempted to murder the eight pedestrians he ran over.

"Having him in jail is not where he should be. He needs to be treated," Peoples' mother, Leevell Peoples of Sacramento, told ABC News on Thursday.

She said she is "100% sure" her son's battle with PTSD had something to do with the crash.

Citing witness statements, Jim Choi of the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety said Peoples' car did not appear to slow down or attempt to brake before it hit pedestrians in the crosswalk and on the sidewalk around 6:30 p.m. After striking the eight victims, ranging from age 9 to 52, Peoples' vehicle slammed into a tree, police said.

"It looks like it may have been an intentional act," Choi said at a news conference on Wednesday. "All of that is under investigation at this time. ... We know that this is an isolated event in that no one is outstanding, no danger to the community."

Having him in jail is not where he should be. He needs to be treated

Sunnyvale Police Chief Phan Ngo said on Thursday that a motive in the case remains under investigation.

Ngo confirmed that Peoples, the son of a minister who died in 2011, was on his way to a Bible study class when he allegedly drove into the crowd. He said Peoples had picked up food for the class and was on his way to deliver it when the crash unfolded.

He said Peoples "has not shown any remorse," but added, "When we took him into custody, he did not behave in any manner that would be considered bizarre to us."

"At this time there is no indication of any ties to terrorism," Ngo said.

He said two of the victims remained hospitalized on Thursday, including a 13-year-old girl who is in critical condition.

Peoples, who lives in Sunnyvale, enlisted in the Army Reserve in March 2004 and served until 2009, reaching the rank of sergeant, according to his military record. He was deployed to Iraq from June 2005 to May 2006, his military record shows.

Leevell Peoples told ABC News that her son was discharged from the military, in part, because he had PTSD. The military would not comment on her claim.

"When he first came home [from Iraq], they had him on some medication," the mother said. "He was seeing doctors at some point at the military hospital here in Sacramento. He'd go in for meetings and they would give him his meds, and he'd talk and they'd have group meetings with other people who are suffering from the same or similar type situations. So, yes, he was doing a lot of different things with the military as far as them checking it and keeping up with it."

She said at some point he was taken off his medication.

At this time there is no indication of any ties to terrorism

"I didn't know it stopped until he had an episode, or outbreak, from it [PTSD] in 2015," the mother said. "So, all I know is he told me they had taken him off and said he didn't need it anymore."

In 2015, she said her son was arrested in Sacramento for throwing a rock through the window of an occupied home while walking in a neighborhood in his bare feet.

"He was walking down the street and he thought he was in Iraq, and he picked up a rock and he threw it and it hit a window," she said.

She said that police who arrested her son took him to a hospital to be evaluated.

"When I got to the hospital, he was asking the person who was guarding him at the hospital, 'How many people were killed today?' And she said, 'Nobody was killed today.' He said, 'I heard all the gunshots,'" the mother said.

"He was thinking or feeling as if he were in Iraq. And she said, 'Nobody was shot today, Isaiah.' And he said, 'Wow, that's amazing. I heard all the gunshots and nobody got shot? That's good,'" the mother added.

She said her son believed people were constantly following him.

"At that point, he was really afraid. He had a lot of paranoia," she said.

She said her son went back on his medication and sought professional help. He seemed to be improving and earlier this year landed a position as an auditor in training for the Department of Defense, she said.

The mother said her son even tried to re-enlist in the military in 2017, but was rejected.

She said she does not know if her son went off his medication.

"Two weeks ago we were on the phone and I said, 'Are you still taking your medication?' And he said, 'Yes.' And I said, 'Yeah, that's good.' I said, 'You have to take that the rest of your life now.' He said, 'I know,'" she said.

She said in recent days he was having problems at work and feared he would not make it through his probationary period.

"He just really keeps things inside and that really triggers his PTSD when you start talking about his job or his performance," Leevell Peoples said.

She said she spoke to her son by phone on Tuesday, hours before the crash in Sunnyvale. She said he didn't sound troubled, and they spoke of his dog, who she cares for, and he promised to send her money to get his pet groomed.

Leevell Peoples said she does not believe her son would deliberately run people over with his car, although she has not spoken to him since his arrest.

"I know with 100% certainty that my son did not do that on purpose. No way ever," she said.

A rare Bible, stolen in the 1990s from the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh as part of an extensive years-long heist with an estimated $8 million worth of items, has returned home, according to the FBI.

The 1615 Breeches Edition Bible was traced to the American Pilgrim Museum in Leiden, Netherlands, which had purchased it for $1,200. A former archivist at the Pittsburg library and a rare book dealer are accused of stealing it along with over 300 rare books, maps, plate books, atlases, and more that were discovered missing last year.

The 17th century Bible is "more than a piece of evidence," Jones said Thursday. "From a dollar-figure sense, it is not priceless. From a history perspective, it is priceless."

Jones explained the first edition of the Geneva Bible was published in 1560. This particular edition, published in London four years after the first King James version, is similar to a Bible known to have been brought over by the Pilgrims in 1620.

Prosecutors say 18 of the stolen books have been recovered thus far, including one copy of Isaac Newton's "Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica," a watershed of science valued at $900,000, and John Adams' "A Defense of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America," valued at $20,000.

The FBI hopes news of the recovery of this Bible will prompt others to look at their collections for any possible items stolen from the Pittsburgh library, including "An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations" the magnum opus by philosopher Adam Smith, valued at $180,000.

A man was arrested for using a compound bow and arrow to kill another man. The man now faces up to 55 years in prison. The victim was walking away from a verbal argument. He was then shot with an arrow that pierced his veins causing him to bleed to death. The shooter then called the police pretending to be the victim.

A man accused of using a compound bow and arrow to shoot and kill another man has been convicted of aggravated manslaughter.

Timothy Canfield was also found guilty Thursday of hindering and a weapons count. The 31-year-old Berlin man now faces up to 55 years in prison when he's sentenced May 16.

Camden County prosecutors say Canfield shot Kereti Paulsen in January 2013.

They say the 25-year-old Cape May Court House man was walking away from a verbal argument that had involved several people when Canfield shot him. An arrow pierced one of Paulsen's veins and he bled to death.

Prosecutors say Canfield made a 911 call after the shooting and pretended to be Paulsen. They also said Canfield provided false information and hid the compound bow and arrows.

Canfield said he acted in self-defense.

Multiple people died and at least 10 others were injured in a fiery crash on a Colorado highway that involved at least 15 cars and semi trucks.

Officials did not specify the number of people killed, but said there were "multiple fatalities" in the Thursday crash and subsequent fire on Interstate 70 in Lakewood, Colorado, about 8 miles west of Denver. One firefighter was among the people taken to a local hospital when debris, possibly a tire, exploded.

The accident occurred at around 4:30 p.m. when a semitrailer slammed into several stopped cars at a high rate of speed during a traffic jam, police said. The driver of that semi survived.

"I-70 eastbound traffic was at a standstill or close to a standstill because of a crash way up ahead. ... The semi was eastbound and ended up colliding with the stopped cars," Lakewood Police Department agent Ty Countryman said Thursday night. "We're almost four or five hours into this and our crash investigation has really yet to begin -- given the magnitude of the size of this crash."

Authorities avoided giving firm numbers at a press conference on Thursday evening because rescue workers were still working to put out hot spots on the scene.

"The back of my truck lifted up and shoved me forward, and I was hitting other cars," Brian Dickey, who was caught up in the accident, told Denver ABC affiliate KMGH.

A top Russian diplomat says Russia is willing to negotiate a new nuclear weapons treaty with the United States and China.

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told reporters on Friday Moscow is closely following reports in the United States that the U.S. would like to reach a nuclear weapons deal with both Russia and China, and is "willing" to negotiate. The story was reported by CNN earlier Friday.

Ryabkov also said that Russia "would like to convince" the U.S. to adopt a joint statement that would condemn any use of nuclear weapons.

Ryabkov's comments come just months after the U.S. withdrew from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, a cornerstone of the post-Cold War security, and Russia followed suit. Each claims breaches by the other.

Kyler Murray was chosen number one overall at last nights draft. He is the first person to be drafted in both the first round for football and baseball. This is also the second year in a row that a quarterback from Oklahoma was drafted number one overall.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Steve Helber/Associated Press
Kyler Murray's gamble on following his passion paid off Thursday, as the Arizona Cardinals selected the Oklahoma quarterback with the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL draft.

The selection ends a monthslong saga of speculation and public mystery from the Cardinals. Most had pegged the Heisman winner to Arizona in the weeks leading up to the draft, but Cardinals brass never made a public commitment.

"It's an inexact science, so it's a tough business," Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said. "If anybody says they're 100 percent, that's certainly not the case. We have to do what's best for this organization. I say that over and over. What's going to make the biggest impact on this organization moving forward and give us a chance for sustainable success?"

Murray threw for 4,361 yards and 42 touchdowns against seven interceptions in 2018 while adding 1,001 yards and 12 scores on the ground en route to winning the Heisman. He's the second consecutive Heisman winner from Oklahoma and joins 2018 No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield as the school's second straight first-round quarterback.

UnlikeMayfield, though, Murray did not seem destined for a future in football. The Oakland Athletics took him with their first-round pick in the 2018 MLB draft, giving him a hefty signing bonus while also allowing him to play one year of football at Oklahoma.

That one year of football turned out to be a life-changing one, erasing doubts about his height to the point he soared into the first-round conversation. Murray informed the A's in February he would be pursuing football full time and returned the team's bonus money.

"It's a final decision. I'm here. I'm ready to go. I was born a football player, and I love this game," Murray told reporters at the combine. "There was no turning back when I made this decision. I was 100 percent in."

Murray continued his ascent up draft boards at the combine in Indianapolis when he measured at over 5'10" and 207 pounds. There were some concerns that he would measure as short as 5'8," but his numbers put him essentially in line with Russell Wilson, who ironically became the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history last week.

The Cardinals will now either trade incumbent quarterback Josh Rosen or have the two battle it out in camp. Michael Silver of NFL Network reported the Cardinals have no plan to give Rosen away. Drafting Murray is an all-in bet on new coach Kliff Kingsbury, who has praised Murray dating back to the coach's time at Texas Tech.

"To be the No. 1 pick, that's a kid's dream come true," Murray said of Kingsbury. "He recruited me out of high school. You know the offense he runs. I have a great relationship with him. If I were to play under him, it would be nice."

Despite the all-world ability, there is some legitimate concern about Murray's size and ability to stay on the field at the NFL level. He's the shortest quarterback ever drafted in the first round and will need to take cues from Wilson in picking his spots to run.

A fiery crash involving up to 28 vehicles, including 24 cars and 4 semi-trucks, on a Colorado freeway Thursday left multiple people dead, authorities confirmed Friday morning.

Police have arrested a semi-truck driver accused of causing a fiery multi-vehicle wreck Thursday on Interstate 70 near Denver, Colo., that left four people dead and six more injured.

Rogel Lazaro Aguilera-Mederos, 23, of Texas, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide, police said. He is slated to appear in court on Saturday for an advisement hearing. The charges stemmed from interviews and evidence, Lakewood police spokesman Ty Countryman said.

Authorities said it did not appear drugs or alcohol were involved and the crash does not appear to be intentional. Officials said they were looking into whether the truck's brakes were working. Aguilera-Mederos was not seriously injured in the crash. Lakewood Police spokesman John Romero told Fox News that Romero was in the United States legally and possessed a green card.

Law enforcement officials said the coroner's office was working on determining the identities of those who died. Six people were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Their conditions were not immediately clear.

The 23-year-old semi-truck driver was heading down a hill when he slammed into traffic that had slowed due to a previous crash ahead of him, officials said.

The collision in the Denver suburb of Lakewood started a chain reaction and a diesel fuel spill, Countryman earlier told the Denver Post. The fire was said to be so intense that it melted the roadway and the metal off cars.

"This is looking to be one of the worst accidents we've had here in Lakewood," he said.

"We're still trying to identify what some of the cars even are," Countryman said.

The Colorado Department of Transportation announced Friday that I-70 will remain closed in both directions at Denver West. Authorities said the highway may not open until Saturday due to the pavement conditions.

A spokesman for the National Transportation Safety Board said the federal agency is monitoring local authorities' investigation into the crash but it is not involved. Peter Knudson said NTSB teams get involved when the agency sees an opportunity to issue new traffic safety recommendations.

"I think that we lose sight that vehicles are deadly weapons and all of us get a little careless at times and need to be more careful when we're driving," he said.
