Police officers continued to stand guard Saturday at the West New York apartment building where Ailina Tsarnaeva lives, and authorities say officers will remain at the site "indefinitely."

West New York Police Director Michael Indri spoke briefly with Tsarnaeva inside her apartment Saturday. Upon leaving the three-story building, he told reporters she was grieving and appeared to have been crying.

Indri also said Tsarnaeva is considering making a statement in the coming days, but it's unclear when that may happen.

Tsarnaeva told federal agents Friday she had not been in contact with her brothers for years.
