Wow, no. No way. Western European; never ever heard of anything like it. School shootings are considered typically American, like hamburgers and Coca Cola.

Another Western European, School Shooting was not even a thing at all when I was at school. Columbine is the event that made that phenomenon real, but, as you said, as a typical American thing.

edit: and to illustrate, I had to look on wikipedia to be sure there had been any earlier than that.
