Is any of the Boondock saints story true or is it based on any actual events

According to Mentalfloss.com, the script was inspired by several real-life events.

Writer-director Troy Duffy based the story for The Boondock Saints on things he saw when he was working as a bartender in Los Angeles, including watching a drug dealer steal money from a dead body.

The film also opens with the story of Kitty Genovese, a young woman who was killed in Queens in 1964 and whose story has become a bit of an urban legend after it was widely (but inaccurately) reported that, despite her cries for help and dozens of witnesses, no one came to her rescue.
