LHC diphoton 750 GeV resonance as an indication of $SU(3)_c\times SU(3)_L\times U(1)_X$ gauge symmetry

The LHC collaborations ATLAS and CMS recently reported on the excess of the events in the diphoton final states at the invariant mass of about $750~ \text{GeV}$. In this article we speculate on the possibility that the excess arises from the neutral CP-even component $ϕ$ of the scalar triplet $ Φ$ of the $SU(3)_{c}\times SU(3)_{L}\times U(1)_{X}$ $(3\text{-}3\text{-} 1)$ model that has a $U(1)_{X}$ charge equal to $X=-1/3$ and acquires a vacuum expectation value larger than the electroweak symmetry breaking scale. The interactions of the scalar field $ϕ$ to the photon- and gluon-pairs are mediated by the virtual vector-like fermions which appear as components of the anomaly-free chiral fermion representations of the $3\text{ -}3\text{-}1$ gauge group.
