Winnsboro Police Chief Lester Thomas said police were called to the 7200 block of Prairie Road Monday. He said the first officers on the scene found Morgan Love bleeding in the front yard of the residence.
"She had been shot multiple times," Thomas said. He said Cooper was seen standing over Morgan Love with a handgun.
Thomas said as officers arrived and began exiting their vehicle, Cooper shot himself. He said officers then entered the residence and found Stephanie Love with gunshot wounds in her back.
Thomas said Cooper and Stephanie Love were pronounced dead at the scene. Morgan Love died a short time later at Franklin Medical Center.
Thomas could not elaborate on the motive for the shooting. He said Cooper was reportedly dating Morgan Love, the mother of Cooper's child.
Thomas said the house is owned by the Love sisters' mother. He said she was not home. He said no arrests are expected.
Police are still investigating the homicides.
