CHICAGO (CBS) -- At least 47 people were shot in Chicago over the weekend, four of them fatally.

At least five of the victims this weekend were 17 or younger. CBS 2 has been looking into how many children are falling victim to gun violence. We know more than 144 juveniles have been shot in Chicago so far this year, and things don't seem to be letting up.

At 11:18 Sunday night, police said a 46-year-old man and a 16-year-old girl were outside, near 13th Street and Springfield Avenue in Lawndale, when a man started shooting at them.

Witnesses said that guy ran away from the area after the shooting.

Both the girl and man were hit multiple times. She is in critical condition and the man is in serious condition.

About three minutes later, another shooting was reported in Uptown.

Police said a 27-year-old victim was standing outside near Wilson and Clifton avenues when another man approached and fired shots.

The victim was hit five times and is in critical condition.

There was also a shooting on Lake Shore Drive around 10:20 p.m. Sunday night.

Police said a security guard shot a man during a verbal altercation on the 100 block of North Lake Shore Drive. The male victim was hit in the stomach and is in critical condition.

The weekend's violence also included a mass shooting early Saturday morning in Chatham, which left one woman dead and nine other people wounded.

Police said the victims were standing on the sidewalk near 75th and Prairie around 2 a.m. Saturday, when two gunmen walked up and started shooting.

A 29-year-old woman, identified as Kimfier Miles, was shot in the abdomen and knee, and was pronounced dead at University of Chicago Medical Center, according to police and the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.

The other nine victims included eight men and one woman, ranging in age from 23 to 46. All nine were in either fair or good condition, and were being treated at five separate hospitals.

The details behind what appears to have been an after-hours mass gathering were still hazy on Saturday afternoon.

Two shootings this weekend also resulted in dogs being wounded, in addition to the human victims.

Around 1:15 p.m. Saturday, a man was shot and killed in the South Loop. A dog also apparently was wounded in the attack.

Police said the victim was in a car on the 600 block of South Wells Street, when a gunman pulled up in another vehicle and started shooting.

The victim's car then crashed into a United States Postal Service truck. The victim was identified as Dearl Butler, 22, and his family believes he was the victim of mistaken identity.

Viewer video of the scene showed police taking a dog out of the back of Butler's car. Witnesses said officers treated the dog and then soon after paramedics arrived and took Butler to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The driver of the postal truck was not in the vehicle at the time and was not hurt.

Around 9:45 p.m. Saturday, a 43-year-old man and his dog were shot in front of their home in Bronzeville. Police said the man and his small dog were standing in front of his home on the 4600 block of South Drexel Boulevard, when someone in a black Nissan Maxima opened the back door of the car and started shooting.

The man suffered a graze wound to the hand, and was treated at the scene. His dog also was struck by the gunfire, but police did not provide any further information about the dog.

The Nissan was last seen driving north on Drexel.

The first homicide of the weekend happened around 8:50 p.m. Friday in the Gage Park neighborhood.

Police said a 20-year-old woman was sitting in the passenger seat of a car with her boyfriend on the 4700 block of South Rockwell Street, when a gunman walked up and started shooting, while shouting gang slogans.

The woman, identified as Fhee Hernandez-Castillo, was shot in the neck and was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

A man also died after being shot early Morning in Englewood. At about 4:20 a.m. Monday, a 43-year-old man was shot several times while driving on the 6500 block of South Perry Avenue. The victim crashed into a park fence, and was taken to University of Chicago Medical Center, where he was later pronounced dead.

At 1:45 a.m. Sunday, a man was shot and wounded in West Englewood early Sunday, and an unmarked Chicago Police vehicle was also struck by gunfire.

The 34-year-old man was standing in the 6300 block of South Wood Street in West Englewood with several other men when he heard shots and felt pain. The man was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in fair condition.

An unmarked CPD vehicle happened to be parked at the end of the block at the time, and a round of gunfire hit the passenger side.
