I believe it was a .308, but I'm not 100%

It was his service pistol from what I heard... no other info has been provided.

New York State Police Sgt. Jay Cook was the most proficient shooter in his police academy class. He showed his sharpshooting ability Sunday when he shot fugitive David Sweat.

Prison-break fugitive David Sweat’s life on the lam came to an abrupt end Sunday, thanks to the aim of a New York State Police sure shot.

Sgt. Jay Cook, a 21-year veteran state trooper and firearms instructor, was hailed a “hero” by Gov. Cuomo, after he single-handedly confronted escaped cop-killer Sweat on a desolate road and shot him twice in the torso as the fugitive made a run for the woods.

Sweat was taken into custody bloodied, but alive.

“He was alone when this happened,” Cuomo said of Cook, 47. “He knew the area very well. It was a very courageous act.”


Damn good job, on a run two hits to the torso.

I'm guessing the next group of students in his firearms training classes will be paying close attention.
