A registered sex offender shot and killed a 17-year-old girl and then himself inside a café Saturday morning in what police believe was a murder-suicide. After an hourlong standoff, police found Scott David Uslan, 42, of the 500 block of Chapman Avenue, dead inside the Tropical Smoothie Café, 314 SE Port St. Lucie Blvd., along with Brittany Carleo, of the 2200 block of Montauk Street, who was a café employee.

Witnesses told police Uslan entered the restaurant around 9:15 a.m. armed with a handgun. Two other employees were able to escape, leaving behind Carleo.

The café employees and patrons of the surrounding shopping center then called 911 after hearing what they thought were gunshots. An officer responded from police headquarters across the street. The officer believed there might be injured people in the building and called in the SWAT team, said police spokesman Officer Rob Vega.

Port St. Lucie Boulevard, from Airoso Boulevard west to Trenton Lane, was closed to traffic as the SWAT team moved in. Around 10:30 a.m., a flash-bang device was thrown into the caf. When officers entered, they found the bodies of

Uslan and Carleo on the floor in the back, Vega said. Uslan and Carleo met two years ago when Uslan's son began dating the girl, according to Carleo's uncle, Bill Martin. Uslan became "obsessed" with Carleo, to the point that she sought a restraining order against him, Martin said.

"If he couldn't have her, no one else could have her," added Martin's wife, Barbara.

Uslan was labeled a sexual offender for a prior conviction on charges of providing obscene material to a minor. He had just gotten out of jail Thursday on bond after he was charged with making harassing phone calls to the girl, reports indicate.
