Speak Out: Do You Feel Safe?

The search continues for the person or persons responsible for two explosions near the finish line at the Boston Marathon. 

Three people — including an 8-year-old boy — were killed and more than 170 people were injured when the two bombings went off Monday afternoon.

Monday's blasts led to heightened security in other cities across the country including New York and Washington, DC.

President Barack Obama said during a televised address Tuesday that the explosions were an act of terrorism. 

"This was a heinous and cowardly act. And given what we now know about what took place, the FBI is investigating it as an act of terrorism.  Any time bombs are used to target innocent civilians it is an act of terror. What we don’t yet know, however, is who carried out this attack, or why; whether it was planned and executed by a terrorist organization, foreign or domestic, or was the act of a malevolent individual." 

During the address, Obama  said "the American people refuse to be terrorized" and vowed to find those responsible and bring them to justice.

After the explosions at the Boston Marathon, tell us, do you feel safe? Are you doing anything differently today? Does the bombings change whether you will participate in local marathons or large gatherings? Tell us in the comments.
