Police sniper caliber?

.308, to answer the question.

Does anyone have information concerning the longest police counter sniper/sniper shot? I recall hearing a critical incident lecture where the farther recorded (US) distance was significantly under 100 yards.
 
Wasn't the longet shot in DC? I thought it was when the suspect pulled a truckload of explosives up to the monument.
 
It is hard to believe they have never taken a shot past 100 yards. I want to think that is wrong, but I guess it might just be right. Shoot, I could be a police sniper at that rate no problem. Heck just about anyone could with the right rifle. I am sure there is more to it than that though.
 
At a rifle school I was told that the DC Park Police (or whatever they're called) made the shot on the guy at the monument with the explosives at 467 yards. Longest recorded police shot.
