I was quite shocked to see her behaving like that. I was shocked when I heard the news. They were shocked that the student cheated at the exam.

"SHOCKED WITH" In addition to Fede's list, you can also use "shocked WITH". "She was accidentally shocked with 6000 volts of electricity". "The police officer shocked the criminal with a Taser". (The criminal was shocked with a taser.)

Hello Eugenia, There is no "to be shocked with something" . You can say: "to be shocked at something" or "to be shocked by something".
