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

"At 21:45:04.75 UT on 02 May 2024, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 240502C (trigger 736379109/240502906).

The on-ground calculated location, using the Fermi GBM trigger data,
is RA = 166.88, Dec = 66.30 (J2000 degrees, equivalent to J2000 11h 7m, +66d 17'),
with a statistical uncertainty of 8.19 degrees.

The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight is 23 degrees.
