we've got the highlights this hour on cnn. good morning, everyone. welcome to "early start." nice to have you with us. i'm ashleigh banfield. >> i'm zoraida sambolin. we begin with the shocking and sometimes sickening testimony in the child sex abuse trial of former penn state football defensive coordinator jerry sandusky. we have heard from two alleged victims already, and a third could take the stand later this morning. yesterday former assistant football coach mike mcqueary also testified, describing what he thought appeared to be sandusky molesting a young boy in a shower. and there was tearful, riveting testimony from the man whose accusations helped trigger the criminal investigation. alleged victim number one said that he stayed at jerry sandusky's house more than 100 times as a boy, and he was sexually assaulted repeat lid when he was just 12 years old. susan candiotti is live in bellefonte, pennsylvania. susan, what made victim number one break down in tears on the stand yesterday? >> reporter: it had to do with the nature of his painful testimony. testimony that was very difficult to listen to for everyone in the courtroom. and i think safe to say for certainly most of the jurors as well, if not all of them. he described how jerry sandusky began grooming him as a boy, starting with kisses on his forehead, which moved to kisses on the lips. and then raping him time and again. and when he was breaking down during the course of this, and then during a very, very difficult cross-examination, he broke down again when he said this. i'm going to keep telling you the same answer. i want you to stop asking me the same questions over and over. but then he did gather himself. and he answered each and every question asked of him by the defense attorneys. in the end, prosecutors said, are you telling us the truth? and he said that he was. zi rhoda? >> susan, who was the reaction in the courtroom to that? >> reporter: the jurors were hanging on every word that he was saying. described as looking right at him the entire time with the exception of one. the youngest juror on the -- on the panel who was listening very hard, but seemed to be avoiding eye contact. perhaps because he also is young and closest in age to this 18-year-old who was testifying on the stand. the youngest on the jury is a student -- yes. a student and works at penn state. >> during mcqueary's testimony prosecutors showed pictures of the locker room where mcqueary says he saw sandusky molesting a boy. what was the effect of those pictures? >> reporter: well, this is something unusual that we hadn't heard about before. but prosecutors introduced photographs that included mannequins set up in the shower, an adult one and one of a child, so that you could best understand what mcqueary was trying to describe what he saw. and that was what was most unique about his testimony. he stuck to many of the facts that we have heard prior to now. but certainly he described that he had no doubt in his mind that jerry sandusky raped a boy in the shower. >> all right. susan candiotti live in bellefonte, pennsylvania, for us. thank you. it is three minutes now past 5:00. we've got new developments for you this morning in those tedly shootings near auburn university's campus. the suspect, 22-year-old desmonte leonard, is now in custody. and he could make a first appearance in court later on today. turns out he turned himself in last night to federal marshals in montgomery, alabama. this after three days on the run. leonard's accused of killing three people, including two former auburn football players, at a party near the auburn campus last weekend. happening now in colorado, a huge shift in the so-called high park wildfire. burning some 60 miles south of denver. new evacuations are in place at this hour. while some residents have been allowed to return home. thick smoke as you're seeing temporarily grounding the air attack. fire officials say they expect to have as many as 800 firefighters on the ground later this week. the fire has burned about 70 square miles and is just now 10% contained. it's being blamed for the death of a 62-year-old woman as well. george zimmerman's wife is out on bail this morning after her arrest on perjury charges. shelley zimmerman is accused of lying in her husband's bond hearing about their family finances. that charge led the judge to revoke george zimmerman's bail and then ordered him back to jail earlier this month. zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in the death of florida teenager trayvon martin. he claims he shot martin in self-defense. meantime, a task force on citizen safety held its first public meeting last night just miles from the spot where trayvon martin was shot dead. that meeting is the first of several set up by governor rick scott to examine the state's controversial stand your ground law. trayvon martin's parents were there. sabryna fulton says the law can be used to protect aggressors. that's what she believes happened on the night her son was killed. >> my 17-year-old son was unarmed. he had a bag of candy and a can of iced tea. he was not harming anyone. he was not committing any crime. and i just don't understand how this law was passed under these grounds. at 8:10 eastern on "starting point" soledad talks with trayvon martin's parents, sybrina fulton and tracy martin along with their attorney, benjamin crump. take a look at some unbelievable video. dash cam video of an 18-month-old girl being thrown from an suv in lubbock, texas. look closely. you can see a toddler after a car rolls over coming out of the window in a little red sweater. police say the toddler's father was trying to elude them after committing a robbery and rolled that vehicle during a high speed chase. unbelievable. so incredibly after being thrown from the vehicle, the child gets up, staggers somewhat, falls. but then is able to walk again, suffering only minor injuries. there was another woman in the vehicle with that little girl, possibly her mother. that woman jumped out of that vehicle. again, after the vehicle rolled, and scooped her up. you can just see in the corner of that. just unbelievable. unbelievable. again, we do want to stress, though, the child is okay. >> incredible. >> relatively okay. democrats hold on gabrielle gifford's seat in arizona's eighth congressional district. giffords voted with barber and celebrated at his side after the victory. barber was wounded in the 2011 shooting spree that critically injured his boss. he'll run in november election against an unknown republican opponent. this just in. gas prices drop to $3.53 per gallon. down .3 cents overnight. i'm going to do my very best now to do play by play. sports. it's not hockey. this is going to be a bit of a fun one. game one of the nba! it goes to the oklahoma city thunder. kevin durant scoring 17 of his 36 points in the fourth quarter to lead oklahoma city past lebron james and the miami heat. final score, 105-96, happening last night. miami was actually leading early, but the thunder roared, outscoring the heat by 18 points in the second half. james led miami with 30 points. game two of the best of seven series to be played tomorrow night in oklahoma city. >> well done, lady. >> got through that one. if it's not hockey, i don't know what they do. is it a goal?
