'Schockieren' (to shock) is a verb ending in '-ieren'. These verbs often come from other languages, are always weak verbs, and form the past participle without 'ge-' (so 'schockiert', not 'geschockiert').
Ich habe gestern mit meiner Chefin telefoniert.
I spoke on the phone with my boss yesterday.
You can use 'schockieren' (to shock) actively, with the news or event as the subject. Very often, however, the participle 'schockiert' (shocked) is used like an adjective to describe a person's state.
Die Höhe der Rechnung schockierte ihn.
The amount of the bill shocked him.
When the participle 'schockiert' (shocked) is used like an adjective, it is often followed by the preposition 'über' with the accusative to name the reason for the shock.
Wir sind alle schockiert über sein Verhalten.
We are all shocked by his behavior.
to drive / ride
'fahren' and 'schockieren' overlap only in the fixed expression 'jemandem in die Glieder fahren' (to give someone a sudden shock). This means that someone is suddenly badly startled. 'schockieren' is more general and more direct. It fits news, events, or behavior that greatly frightens, horrifies, or outrages someone. 'Jemandem in die Glieder fahren' sounds more figurative and often describes a brief, sudden fright. 'schockieren' is more suitable when the effect is stronger or lasts longer.
Die Nachricht vom Unfall hat die ganze Familie schockiert.
The news of the accident shocked the whole family.
Der laute Knall fuhr mir in die Glieder.
The loud bang gave me a shock.
