The Large Area Telescope (LAT), one of the two instruments on the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, has observed gamma-ray flux increasing to a record level from a source positionally consistent with the flat spectrum radio quasar B3 1343+451 also known as 2FGL J1345.4+4453 (RA: 13h45m33.172s, Dec: +44d52m59.57s, J2000, Kovalev, Y. Y. et al., 2007, AJ 133, 1236). Its redshift of 2.534 (Shaw, M. S. et al., ApJ, Submitted) makes this object one of the ten most distant quasars detected by Fermi/LAT (Ackermann et al.
