Corrected entry: When the candidate is shot embracing his mother, it is done with a single shot to his upper back. The subsequent shot that shows the candidate and his mother lying on their backs has the candidate with a wound to his lower abdomen and the mother with a wound to the chest. Since the candidate's wound is an exit wound and the trajectory of the bullet is downward, it would be impossible for it to rise to the mother's chest level.

Correction: First, the candidate is shot in the middle of the back, not the top. Second, the candidate's exit wound is at the top of his abdomen / bottom of his rib cage, not his lower abdomen. When you add in the fact that Liev Schrieber is nine inches taller than Meryl Streep, it sounds very reasonable indeed.
