Копривщенци се настроили срещу циганите и за да не ги сполети случилото се в Клисура, решили въпроса „радикално". През нощта на 27 срещу 28 април ги изкарали от домовете им, навързали ги и решили да ги избият. (...) Така всички цигани от Копривщица били убити без да имат вина, и то пред очите на жените и децата им. [The people of Koprivshten turned against the Gypsies and, in order not to befall them what happened in Klisura, they resoled the issue "radically". On the night of April 27 and 28, they drove them [Gypsies] out of their homes, tied them up and decided to kill them. (...) Thus, all the Gypsies from Koprivshtitsa were killed without being guilty, and in front of their wives and children.]
