GRB 991014 is one of the shortest gamma-ray bursts detected so far with the Wide Field Cameras aboard BeppoSAX, in both gamma rays and X-rays. The duration is 9.6 s in 2-28 keV and 3.2 s in 40 to 700 keV (as measured between the times when 5% and 95% of the burst photons have been accumulated). We have refined the InterPlanetary Network annulus of the burst; we present the detection of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 991014 within this refined annulus and discuss X-ray and gamma-ray observations of the prompt and afterglow emission. Except for the briefness of the prompt event, no other unusual aspects were found in the prompt and afterglow observations as compared to such measurements in previous gamma-ray bursts.
