FALLUJAH, Iraq (CNN) -- A shootout involving Iraqi police and U.S. forces developed into a fierce gunbattle early Friday in central Iraq, killing at least 10 people apparently by mistake, local officials said.
Nine Iraqis and one Jordanian died in the fighting, officials said.
Iraqi police said that shooting began when three gunmen in a BMW fired at their station in Fallujah, 43 miles (about 70 kilometers) west of Baghdad. The police said they pursued the men in unmarked vehicles and fired at them.
U.S. forces fired on both the police and suspects, witnesses said.
"The shooting started at about 1 in the morning," one witness said. "It got heavier and heavier.
"I am 100-percent sure this is American ammunition," he said, holding up spent shell casings.
Fallujah's mayor said the violence killed eight of the city's protection-force personnel and left two others seriously wounded. One Iraqi policeman was killed and seven wounded, he said.
In addition, personnel inside a nearby Jordanian military field hospital believed they were under attack and joined in the gunbattle, according to the Jordanian Information Ministry.
"Unknown elements attacked the hospital," a ministry statement said. "The Jordanian military force guarding the hospital responded to the fired shots."
Nabil al-Sherif, Jordan's information minister, said one Jordanian officer was killed and four other Jordanians injured. An Iraqi who worked at the hospital also was wounded, al-Sherif said.
U.S-led coalition officials said at least one U.S. soldier was wounded in small-arms fire and a rocket-propelled grenade attack near the Jordanian hospital. The coalition also said five "neutral individuals" were wounded.
Video showed that the shelling heavily damaged the exterior of the Jordanian hospital.
Jordan set up the Fallujah hospital two months ago on King Abdullah II's orders to offer humanitarian aid to Iraqis. Jordan has other field hospitals in the country.
• In more violence, two coalition soldiers were killed and seven wounded early Friday in small-arms fire that broke out while they were conducting a raid in Ramadi, a central Iraqi town 60 miles (96 kilometers) west of Baghdad, the coalition said.
The soldiers were evacuated to a nearby medical facility, where they died from their wounds.
An investigation is under way, the coalition said, and the soldiers' names were withheld pending notification of their families.
• In addition, two U.S. soldiers were wounded early Friday near Baghdad when their military police vehicle hit an explosive device, then came under small-arms fire, according to the Coalition Press Information Center.
The attack happened in a marketplace in Abu Ghurayb, about 19 miles (30 kilometers) west of Baghdad.
The vehicle caught fire and was abandoned. One of the wounded soldiers was treated and released; the other remains under observation.
• Also, a U.S. soldier with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment was wounded Thursday when his convoy was ambushed near Fallujah, a coalition military spokesman said.
The two-vehicle convoy was struck by rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire around Habbaniya, a town west of Fallujah, the spokesman said.
Two military vehicles were destroyed. Video from the scene showed them charred and burning. (Full story)
When other U.S. forces arrived, people inside nearby homes began shooting at them, and the military returned fire, the spokesman said.
U.S. military officials said they did not know whether anyone inside the houses was hit in the firefight.
A small crowd gathered and celebrated the attack on U.S. troops. The crowd shouted in Arabic, "God is great," and "Iraq, we sacrifice our lives and blood for you."
Through Thursday, 289 U.S. troops have been killed in the war in Iraq -- 185 in hostile action and 104 "nonhostile" incidents, which include accidents. More U.S. soldiers have died in Iraq since President Bush declared an end to major combat May 1 than were killed during the invasion. (Special Report: Coalition casualties, Interactive: U.S. troop deaths in Iraq)
There is no reliable source for Iraqi civilian or combatant casualty figures, either during the period of major combat or after May 1. The Associated Press reported an estimated 3,240 civilian Iraqi deaths between March 20 and April 20, but the AP said that the figure was based on records of only half of Iraq's hospitals and the actual number was thought to be significantly higher.
U.S. raids in Tikrit
U.S. soldiers with the 4th Infantry Division fire a mortar this week in Tikrit, Iraq.
In raids conducted around Tikrit, Saddam Hussein's hometown, U.S. soldiers detained 48 people, shutting down bomb-making facilities and confiscating weapons and ammunition, the Coalition Press Information Center said Thursday.
In the 24-hour period ending Thursday morning, soldiers of the Army's 4th Infantry Division and 122nd Armored Infantry Battalion staged seven raids, with Iraqi police, civil defense corps and border guards participating, the coalition said.
The forays netted two bomb-making workshops, material used in constructing explosive devices, and machine guns, rifles and munitions, the coalition said.
Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of U.S. ground forces in Iraq, said Thursday that troops also recently staged raids in the Baghdad area in search of Saddam.
He said that the forces act on "just about every tip that we get" regarding the former Iraqi leader's whereabouts.

• A top Indian official said Friday that India cannot spare any troops to assist in Iraq despite repeated U.S. requests for help. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the senior defense official said no official decision had yet been made about Iraq. But referring to the army's commitments in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, the official said, "The internal situation ... is such that we can't afford to send any troops for peacekeeping."

• The British government did not "sex up" its dossier on Iraq, but its claim that Saddam could fire banned weapons at 45 minutes notice was "unhelpful," a committee found Thursday. Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee also criticized British Defense Secretary Geoff Hoon, saying it was "disturbed" he did not disclose full details of staff concerns over the dossier. The initial failure of the Defense Ministry to reveal details of those concerns was "unhelpful and potentially misleading," the committee's report said. (Full story)
• U.S. forces in Iraq paused Thursday for moments of silence amid several ceremonies marking the two-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
