try searching "school shootings UK" it just redirects to US ones
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=school+shootings+in+uk&title=Special%3ASearch
It does that for whichever country you try Japan, Africa, Worldwide, from that I would say yes, the US really does have the highest recorded figures
EDIT - You get a few results for Germany and a couple in Finland
EDIT 2 - www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0777958.html 1996 onward - 77 listed, 58 are US, 4 Germany, 2 Canada, 2 Finland

I can only think of 3 killing sprees involving firearms in the UK
Hungerford, Dunblane and Cumbria.
A lot of the incidents in link above seem to be grievances with other pupils or teachers. The killing spree guys seem to go tooled with extra mags aiming for a top score and not worried who gets it.

"Six-year-old Kayla Rolland shot dead at Buell Elementary School near Flint, Mich. The assailant was identified as a six-year-old boy with a .32-caliber handgun."
Perfect example of what happens if you have guns lying about the place. Its nto like thig person went out and bought one....

They went into detail about this one in Bowling for Columbine
And you're exactly right; the kid found the gun in his parent's house.
