There have been 140 school related attacks, from which 102 have taken place in the United States.
So no, these tragedies don't only happen in the US, just more often than anywhere else.
I don't think Moore has ever stated that these things happen only in US, but he has conveniently left out the tragedies that happen in other countries. Personally I don't think that majority of americans really care about things happening outside the states. And NO, by this I don't mean that ALL americans think like that.
