The Fermi GBM team reports the detection of a likely LONG GRB

"At 12:18:51.24 UT on 03 March 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240303B (trigger 731161136 / 240303513).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 304.49, Dec = 1.26 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 20h 17m, +1d 15'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 1.00 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 96 degrees.
