Peoples is retired from the U.S. Army, said a spokeswoman for the Pentagon. His mother says he received inpatient treatment for PTSD in 2015. Isaiah wouldn't even run a yellow light, she said. "He basically probably has no friends but the people he works with," she said.

She said her son graduated from Sacramento State University after returning from Iraq in 2007. But he did have "a bad episode" with PTSD about two years ago and Peoples said her son told her he has been regularly taking medication since.

"Everyone in his family knows how cautious he is, and he would never do anything to hurt someone," she said. Former housemate Chuck Herrera described him as very quiet, someone who had to be coaxed into going out. Peoples was polite and kind and sweet to Herrera's toddler son.

He recalls Peoples "always had a lot of pills," and had a cough. "The guy I met was not someone who you think will hurt someone," he said. "My guess is something happened."

Peoples is being held without bail ... the most seriously injured is a 13-year-old girl who is in a coma ... with brain swelling and a pelvic fracture. Three other victims suffered fractured or broken bones.

Witnesses said Peoples was seen thanking Jesus at the time of his arrest. Family members claim the Iraq war veteran may have been suffering from PTSD. The defense will likely request a psychiatric evaluation. Prosecutors will rely on forensic evidence from his car and computer.

“I’m feeling really sad for those people especially the little girl,” said victim Miguel Balbuena. Balbuena was among those hit. He was able to walk away on crutches. He doesn't plan to see Peoples in court, explaining it would be too painful to relive the trauma.

His served in Iraq in army. I can put more together based on family members on FB. No one runs over innocents for Jesus or Old Testament prophet Elijah.
