2008 Ford Escape Hybrid Won't start, but some electrical devices still work..

I have a 2008 Ford Escape Hybrid, with 130k on it.
Today, I tried to start it and it wouldn't start. On the dashboard, the battery icon is lit. I can hear the various motors/vents which turn on briefly during normal operation, still doing their thing.
The interior lights will turn on.
The headlights do not light up at all.
The radio will not power on at all.
The windows are a little sluggish.
The horn works normal, full sound.
The hazard lights do not work.
I measured the voltage across the battery, while still hooked up: 6V
Is it simply a bad 12V battery, or something else?
I think this is still the original battery.
I live in Tucson, AZ.
Before getting a new battery or calling AAA, I'd like to be more sure.
The vehicle is in my garage, and I have a spare vehicle, so I'm not in too bad of shape.
Any help/tips would be great.
Thanks!
