TMZ Sports has obtained the filing made by attorney Douglas Duncan ... which states Tiger was looking to leave America to "begin comprehensive inpatient treatment."

The attorney prosecuting Tyler Robinson in the case concerning Charlie Kirk's killing tells TMZ the bullet matching test results were inconclusive ... but that doesn't remove Tyler from suspicion.

Attorney Christopher Ballard tells us, "Generally when a bullet fragment analysis comes back as inconclusive, that means the fragment did not contain enough detail for the examiner to say one way or the other. There's just not enough there to determine whether the bullet was fired by a particular firearm. We have ample evidence to demonstrate beyond a reasonable doubt that Tyler Robinson committed this murder and we will present some of that evidence at the upcoming preliminary hearing -- and then we will present all of that evidence at the trial."

As we reported ... Tyler's defense team argued there’s a discrepancy between the ballistic evidence and the weapon prosecutors say is connected to Robinson.

Robinson's attorney claims the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives conducted a summary report which indicates the ATF was “unable to identify the bullet recovered at autopsy to the rifle allegedly tied to Mr. Robinson.”

Dayton Webber -- the quadruple amputee suspected of shooting a man to death -- is back in Maryland, where the killing took place ... and we've obtained the new mugshot authorities took of him.

We're told the house is equipped with an advanced security system, including bulletproof windows, and is extremely difficult to access, which may explain why the suspects never made it inside.

Our sources say no one was home at the time, including Larsa or her children and she was at her Miami high-rise apartment, where she keeps her valuables. She's currently staying there following the scare.

Joseph Duggar just went before a judge in Florida for the first time since being extradited to the Sunshine State in his child molestation case.
