Charges have been filed in the triple homicide reported in Farmington on Wednesday night. 
A statement issued by the Dakota County Attorney’s office said Blake Thomas Maloney, age 26 of Farmington, has been charged with three counts of second-degree murder in the deaths of his mother 53-year-old Tracy Maloney of Lakeville; his father, 55-year-old Jack Maloney of Farmington; and his brother, 23-year-old Scott Maloney of Farmington.
According to the criminal complaint, a Farmington police officer was dispatched to the home of Jack Maloney on a request to check the welfare of Tracy Maloney, who had gone to her ex-husband’s house in Farmington to visit her sons.
The officer arrived at the home and knocked on the door which was partially open. When Blake Maloney answered the door and was asked if Tracy Maloney was there, the man raised his hands above his head and admitted to the murders, saying he did not believe the people were his family.
Bail was set in the amount of $2,00,000 without conditions. Maloney’s next court appearance is scheduled for November 12, at 9am in Hastings.
