Sounds like the anti-theft/alarm system was triggered.
Have you tried locking and unlocking the driver door with the key to disable the alarm ?
And you need at least 12 volts to crank the engine so the battery may need to be charged up first.
First thing I would check would be the battery. Open the hood and make sure the battery terminals are tightly connected to the battery (try to turn them on the post by hand). If they are tight and you have a volt-ohm-meter you can check the battery charge yourself. If not you can remove the battery and take it to an autoparts store and ask them to check it for you.
The "click" you hear is the selonoid or starter switch making contact so the engine will start. I suggest you take the starter with the starter selonoid attached to a parts supplier and have them test for a bad selonoid.
I suggest you stand next to the person checking the unit. It will keep him honest and you just got a free lesson on how to test a starter and selonoid.
Sounds like your starter solenoid is stuck in the on position if you can get down there and have some one hook the battery on, hit the starter with a hammer some time this will disengage the starter.
It sounds as if it could be the neutral safety switch. have you tried to start it in neutral instead of park?? If it starts in neutral just have the neutral safety switch replaced. I hope this helps.
do you have power to the lights,radio?did you check all fuses yet??
