be shocked BY / AT something: I'm shocked by / at the violence. I'm truly shocked at / by your behaviour. I hope you were not shocked by / at what I said. 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. Adjectives + BY / AT: shocked, alarmed, amazed, surprised, astonished, confused

"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".
