The lyrics to "Ronnie" are actually based on a school shooting in 1995 in the state Washington. The shooter was Ron Brown (or: "Ronnie frown" in the lyrics).
From songmeanings.net:
"About a school shooting in about 1995, I think. The shooter's name was Ron Brown a.k.a. Ronnie Frown. "
So yes, it was based on a specific event.
