We discovered an untriggered gamma-ray transient in the Fermi/GBM data approximately 80 seconds after T0 of EP240919a, coinciding with the timing of the X-ray transient.\n\nThe GBM light curve shows a single emission episode with a duration (T90) of approximately 50 seconds (10-1000 keV) and a peak at about T0+90 seconds. The time-averaged spectrum from T0+83 to T0+108 seconds is well fitted by a cutoff power-law function, N(E) = A*(E^-Gamma)*exp(-E*(2-Gamma)/Ep), with a peak energy of 95 (+19/-12) keV and a photon index, Gamma, of 0.6 (+0.3/-0.4). The average flux (10-1000 keV) during this interval is estimated to be 4.5 (+0.5/-0.5) x 10^(-8) erg/s/cm^2.\n\nGiven that the gamma-ray transient is consistent with EP240919a in both timing and location, we propose that this is likely a GRB event.\n\nWe strongly recommend further follow-up observations of EP240919a to confirm its physical nature and to search for potential afterglows.\n",
