The NYPD was out in full force in Times Square on what should be a quiet summer Sunday morning.

A bomb-sniffing dog accompanied groups of officers armed with long guns while standing guard in front of high-profile locations like the NASDAQ building.

Similar scenes could be spotted at other heavily populated locations across the city. The officers didn't say anything, but they were sending a message: the NYPD is taking precautions after two mass shootings this weekend killed at least 29 people in Texas and Ohio.

“I do feel somewhat safe, can’t be 100% safe, but I do feel comfortable walking around,” said one man in Union Square.

Local officials showed disgust by the shootings and the failure to enact new federal gun controls.

"Yesterday it was El Paso. Not even 24 hours later it’s Dayton. Where will it be next? And how soon?" Mayor de Blasio tweeted.

"Those who are unwilling to do anything about it are complicit," said Governor Cuomo.

The NYPD's counterterrorism unit announced it was stepping up patrols just hours after the shooting in Texas, tweeting "While there is no specific/credible threats to NYC that the counter terrorism unit has additional deployments out of an abundance of caution."

After the attack in Dayton, Ohio, early Sunday, the unit tweeted that officers "continue to monitor the developments surrounding this incident."

New Yorkers we spoke to say they appreciate the stepped up presence.

"To put as many life savers out there that can reverse this, that's the way to go,” one woman walking through Times Square said.

Even still, after two mass shootings—one seemingly right after the other—some New Yorkers have been left shaken.

“This can happen anywhere. You can never be prepared for something like this, even if you take the courses and the training and self-defense. A guy has an AR and you don’t have anything, he’s most likely going to win," said one New Yorker.

Back in Times Square, tourists and New Yorkers alike said they would not let the violence change how they live.

“I’m just of the mind that you have to get on with life,” said one woman.

But the extra police, they said, sure helps them feel better.
